Blockchain.com is 10 years old and is celebrating with US$50 of crypto with a US$100 purchase.

Moko (translated):

With a purchase price of 90 €, I lost about 2.30 € in spread / fees. Compared to other exchanges, that's a lot. So it's best to just use it for this action 🐊

Just entered email, password, confirm email, confirm authorized login, buy bitcoin (did $105 USD), add name/dob/address, enter credit card (e.g. ING refunds foreign transaction fee), processing (takes up to 1 minute), verify gold level (photo of license via webcam, take selfie). Wait for bonus to hit account.

To be eligible for the Promotion, you must either be: 1) a new Blockchain.com Wallet user, or 2) an existing Blockchain.com Wallet user with an unverified account and with no previous purchase history prior to the start of the Promotional Period (“Eligible Participants”). Eligible Participants have or sign up for a Blockchain.com Wallet account, verify their account to Gold level, and purchase at least USD $100 or the local equivalent of crypto using fiat on their first purchase during the Promotional Period (a “Qualifying Purchase”).

The first 20,000 Eligible Participants to make a Qualifying Purchase during the Promotional Period shall receive USD $50 or the local equivalent in bitcoin (the “Bonus”). The Bonus shall be deposited directly into your Blockchain.com Wallet account beginning on or around November 15, 2021, with the amount of bitcoin determined by the conversion rate at or around the time of deposit, as determined by Blockchain.com in its sole discretion.

Seems you need to keep it in the account for 2 weeks. So as long as BTC doesn't fall ~44%, you should still be ahead.

All bonuses will be paid around November 15, 2021.

        From my perspective, they're extremely reputable and genuine. The post to me looks like they have been scammed via phishing from someone else but still believe it was this company.

        I used to use the wallet and have used their data feeds for various chain metrics in the past.

      • shadowangel on 21/10/2021 - 16:02

        I took part in the STX airdrop awhile back, didn't have an issue. Blockchain generates a non-custodial wallet so you can import your keys then withdraw to a wallet you generate as soon as it's paid. You don't need to use the website.

        As long as the coins you buy are paid you can withdraw to your own wallet then withdraw the bonus to a wallet you generate.

        The issue with web wallets and soft wallets is malware, it's common on Apple and google play and other applications. Very common. Very hard to detect.

          e.g. you could invest in BTC now, randomise your password, send your future self your login details, then delete your password and get on with your life.
          Then one day your future self receives an email from the old you, and you go “WTF more spam!” and delete it.

    In case nobody doesnt know, bitcoin is fully traceable and balance visible to who you transact with. It is not private, the coins you had before you had them can cause you trouble when you try to spend them thanks to monitoring of the blochain which list your address in the clear. Let that sink it what that means if you use it for money. Bitcoin is not money.

    • BoundedRationality on 21/10/2021 - 15:07

        yes anyone can create a token. You will need Eth (Heaps of it to pay gas) then you will need to provide a decent amount of liquidity to Uniswap. It's a pair, so you carry risk also. There are cheaper networks. BTC you could fork with enough cash, especialy with taproot upgrades in a few months.

        They're actually using an app which does the transfers offchain, so it's not actually using bitcoin at all. If it was a bitcoin -> bitcoin transaction, the customer would have to wait around for an hour and the fees would be higher than the cost of the coffee.

          The current TVL on the LN is 4,700 BTC.

          • Tyrx on 21/10/2021 - 20:49

            @rektrading: I don't need to listen to a "non-technical" explanation by a paid shill for blockstream. The short of it is that Lightning is centralised and can only function with hosted wallets, which is the anthesis of what crypto is supposed to be. It also doesn't make my comment untrue either, because it's a 2nd layer solution built around pushing most transactions off chain and only conducting settlements on-chain from time to time.

            What El Salvador specifically has done is structure the "day to day" transactions using Strike, which is built upon a private version of Lightning. It's inferior to a standard relational database, and the only reason it is used is to trick people who don't know what they're talking about (like someone that needs to link to a "non-technical" explanation) into thinking they are actually transacting with bitcoin when they're not.

            • rektrading on 21/10/2021 - 21:06

              @Tyrx: I don't know which tribe you're playing from but I've no interest in debating which fork is best.

              I only care about two things and that is the tech that makes the most money and is easy to use. Anything else is noise.

              @Tyrx: I find Andreas Antonopoulos to be a great educator for Bitcoin and would hardly consider him to be a paid shill. I would recommend all newcomers to Bitcoin to check out his presentations and lectures. His knowledge on the subject is considerable and his analogies are very entertaining.

              Bitcoin and the Lightning network are tools with different functions. Criticising the Lightning network because it doesn't settle all transactions back to the blockchain is confusing to me. If I am buying a coffee why does this need to settle on chain? Its about speed and settlement cost, both of which is not possible on chain currently.

              Strike and the Chivo Wallet allows the people of El Salvador to remit money back into the country securely and cheaply. Their usual option of using Western Union who charge 15%+ and require a wasted day travelling to the branch and waiting in line to process this is so last century. Again this is another tool which has a purpose and is cheaper / faster / better than the alternative.
              Is it perfect? No, but it is better. Who can argue with choice.

              • peterpeterpumpkin on 24/10/2021 - 15:07

                @Malik Nasser: Cheaper/faster/better wasn't an issue for Salvadorians working legally in the US (main country we're talking about) that have digitally-connected family back home with bank accounts. Even before El Salvador's pseudo-adoption of crypto, Western Union already let you transfer USD to El Salvador (which was and still is official currency) instantly via debit card and for free via the Money Wallet option (probably because it was used so rarely they simply absorbed card fees…). If you want them to be able to pick up cash the old-fashioned way (and yes, waiting in line) it will cost you $2 via debit card to transfer $100. As the amount increases you reach well below 1% but as the amount decreases below $7 you would reach 15%+ in fees (or @$11 due to a non-proportional scale). Paying cash in-store has always been the pricier option (paying for US man-hours, rent and utilities) but even then only hits 15%+ when below $30. The main issue is and was poor adoption of banking services and internet connectivity in El Salvador.

                Then there's the elephant in the room. Most workers in the US ("most" being generously subtle) get paid in fiat USD. Instantly converting USD to Bitcoin within the US isn't free - unlike Western Union Money Wallet (though as a private company, it may not stay that way forever). And of course, the average volatility index of Bitcoin is over 3.5%, well beyond the volatility of the USD and almost any other currency (at least for now).

                It does provide simplified workflows for the families of undocumented migrants and those trying to avoid scrutiny by the IRS for larger transfers (it's hard enough getting an internet-savvy Australian mum to sign up to ING, let alone teach them how to exchange crypto). And it might trigger a digital and banking revolution in El Salvador because of the local media hype. It's well documented that the disconnected countries in the Americas struggled in providing welfare during the COVID pandemic.

      Only when trying to deposit your Bitcoin onto centralised exchanges will you run into that issue.

      If you buy your Bitcoin on the centralised exchange initially then you will not have this issue.
