--- Реших да приемам криптовалути, въпреки че не вярвам много в криптовалути заради неща като това: https://nova.bg/news/view/2018/01/19/204609/%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B0-%D0%B2-%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B0-%D0%B7%D0%B0-%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0-%D1%81-%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BF%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B0-%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BA%D0%B8 .
За употреба на криптовалути Ви трябва:
+ основно разбиране за това как работят криптовалутите;
+ лаптоп/компютър/смартфон/таблет с Интернет връзка и програма/приложение за работа с криптовалути (multi cryptocurrencies wallet(s) hash-addresses). Препоръчвам лаптоп с батерия, издържаща над 3 ч. или около 1 ден + Интернет + банкова сметка (IBAN и другите неща за електронни разплащания) + PayPal.com сметка и eBay.com сметка + olx.bg сметка, и смартфон (с батерия, която издържа доста време - мощни смартфони с над 64 GB ROM & 4 GB RAM за под 500 лв. вече има дори в България!!!) с Google Android и с Google Play и с Интернет връзка + кабел със (SuperCharge?) зарядно!
