I remember buying gift cards from you! So upsetting when Coinbase shut down your account.



Why were you buying gift cards for more than they are worth?


I don't recall paying more than they're worth, I was using a service called Steam Loader and it allowed me to spend my "magical internet money" on Steam which does not accept bitcoin.

Even if it was a few percent more, it's cool to be an early adopter of technology. I got all my bitcoins back then for free from mining anyway, so who cares? free games!
