Buying Bitcoins at Australian Newsagents
with Rarlo Magazine
One of the easiest ways to buy Bitcoins in Australia is at your local newsagent.
Yes. You read that right. Apart from magazines, piles of newspapers and 15 year olds peaking through porno mags; newsagents now sell bitcoins. Well, they don’t actually sell them but you can exchange cash for bitcoins as long as it is a bitcoin enabled location.
Bitcoin Australia has partnered with Blueshyft to create the first Retail Payment Network of over 1200 locations around australia.
Do you need thousands of dollars to start ? Nope.
You can be a fully sick Bitcoin investor with only a cheeky pineapple.
“At this stage, $50 is the lowest viable amount but our dream is to encourage new users to get on board and promote the growth of the Bitcoin network.” (bitcoin.com.au)
However, there is a maximum daily limit of $9000. So if your trying to launder bulk cash, you will need some mates to help you out.
Bitcoin.com.au stated that they “are working with the Australian Digital Currency Commerce Association to help foster regulation for the industry in Australia.”
Keep in mind that there are fees associated with investing in bitcoin and there are also different exchange rates depending on how/where you buy from. Using bitcoin.com.au and a bitcoin enabled newsagent will cost 5% per transaction.
