Bad experience with PureTime. [[Not really, more of a noob misunderstanding]]

Bitcoins are new and foreign to a lot of people to include me. As someone new to the currency, I looked up how to purchase to include a “coinbase” App to do so. The warnings associated prior to purchase is disconcerting besides monitoring your investment, possibility attached to your bank account (bank used as funding for purchase of BTC). It even seems riskier for an illegal purchase which is in essence what we are doing buying a counterfeit watch. Other than this transaction in particular, I’m not sure what else I would use BTC for. Add hold times, exchanges etc. just adds to the trepidation. Maybe I’m just naive, but it all appears it’s another way to put my money ass out there for the taking. Anyway, Puretime and I made up and I would like to delete my rant, but can’t seem to. The “in stock/out of stock” offerings are indeed more complicated than I realized considering the type of business we are dealing with.

Why would it be riskier? PP is also attached to your bank account.

Because bitcoins are a crypto currency I’m not familiar with. At least PayPal would have my back to some degree....I think. I hear exchange rates when you’re cashing out etc. I am curious, but also dumb to BTC. I’ve always used my CC with PT, no issues.

In 5 years it will only be crypto transactions. Better stock up now to become rich and own Gen watches ????

Currency Risk is the main type of risk you take on when buying BTC. It’s no different then buying British Pounds when you have USD. The amount of one currency a bank will give you in exchange for another.

The “problem” is that BTC is more volatile than fiat currency. For example when Brexit was surprisingly voted in, GBP to USD fluctuated something like 30% in a day. BTC used to do that all the time... not so much now... but maybe again? Who knows?

coinbase makes it easy. If it was that easy in 2009 when I first went to buy it.... well, I would have more gens.

For a better explanation of the exact risk without the hype of crypto:

HELLO again,

first, I see that the title was changed, I think there are some issues but I hope for a good experience overall with PureTiem. (as I receive the watch I will summarize the overall experience with PureTime.)

second the BIT issue, I don't have a BIT and it's too complex for me and for other people.

for now, I was compromised on the color, I was decided to take the white color, and I pay extra money for the V5 version.

today I was receiving the QC pic, do you have any remarks?? (the photos attached).
{and as the crown close, the AP logo needs to me straight, right?}

thanks, guys.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. The watch looks very good to me. I am afraid to say the position of the Ap logo on the crown is normal and can not be straight
