I know there's a lot of telegram / whatsapp groups out there about crypto currency in general as well as selling / trading.

But what do you guys think if we make a private group for us the Lebgeeks community, say on telegram due to more privacy, and I think we will be more comfortable discussing crypto in general and even buying / selling / trading amongst each other.

EDIT:

After a couple of members PM me about the group, I went ahead and created it.
Whomever is interested in joining, kindly PM me for the invitation link.
It is preferable to put your telegram account the same as your name here if you don't have one already.
Feel free to start such a group, but please do not associate it with LebGeeks or advertise it here (apart from the post above).
For those interested, contact AVOlio via PM.

I recently (not nearly a month ago) bought 9.5 BTC at a total cost of ~$315.

Now they're worth $378 if I needed to sell them. That's a good 20% return on investment without doing nothing. Though it's not much since I was afraid of taking a larger risk.

Is anyone else following the BTC craze?
Are there any possible outlets in Lebanon?
If not, is there enough potential interest?

I understand all I get is going to be anecdotal evidence (at best) and some subjective opinions. Still it's the only resource I can find at the moment.
Just curious, did you sell your BTC? =)

Short BTC Analysis/ Update:

Its the 21st of July!
Elon , Jack and Cathie will hold a live debate to talk about the importance of BTC and why institution should adopt it.

Luckily, BTC broke resistance 30k and is now being traded at 30.6K.

-A 4HR candle close above 30.8K will give confidence for the bulls.

-Also, a Daily Close above 31.5K will give strong momentum for the bulls and will lead us to break 33.3K.

There will be high volatility in the market today.

Guys I made a very small amount from GPU ETH mining as a test for a couple of month or so. How can I check out that amount in here locally? and will it be USD or LL?
I made an e-wallet but they're still on the mining software for now.
Thank you.

You need to reach a certain threshold for the amount to be paid out. It's usually either when you reach 0.1 ETH or 0.01 ETH paid out at the 28th of each month. Which pool did you mine on ?
Guys if someone is interested to sell and cashout a respectable amount of crypto (crypto -> USD cash in your hand), I can help with this service. PM me.

Not an expert on pools man. I downloaded Kryptex software just to make everything work seamlessly without my intervention.
I have like 70USD or so, if I remember correctly.
You guys can also mine directly to the binance pool that way it's just a simple click to transfer it from the pool to your binance wallet

Hello guys,

How can I cash out my USD here in Lebanon?

I have Binance account and ADVcash account. But I don't have a bank account in Lebanon.

So what do you suggest? Shall I open an account with BLOM or Audi or another bank and transfer from ADVcash to the bank account? or it doesn't work?
Or is there any other way?

I know there is P2P on Binance, and to be honest I've never tried it. There are option to get paid with WesternUnion from dealers here in Lebanon. Did anybody try this?

Any input will be useful, please share your thoughts. Thanks.

Hey, crypto mining is trending in Lebanon, and most people are suffering from electricity outages. I am wondering are there any crypto mining hosting providers in Lebanon?

In other countries are big mining farms that offer discounted electricity prices. So I am wondering if there is such a service in Lebanon?

and if not, do you know any reputable hosting mining service abroad? so we buy the rigs from them or send them our rigs, and they just operate it on our behalf?

Hi guys,

I was trying to use my fresh usd card on binance. But it seems it is blocked. It is a card from a Lebanese bank.
Does anyone know a turn around ?

It is practically impossible to use your lebanese card for crypto, as it is blocked by all banks here.
Your only (and best) choice is to buy it from someone in person (or by OMT), in cash. To do so, there's numerous Telegram (or WhatsApp) channels where you can trade crypto.
My bankmed card works fine (fresh).
jsaade wroteMy bankmed card works fine (fresh).
Well I'll be damned. My Bank Audi fresh USD card doesn't work, so I guess certain banks allow it.
