Australian Woman Travels to Ten Countries in 12 Weeks on Cryptocurrency Alone
Advertisement

Many of the critics of cryptocurrency asset like Bitcoin and Ethereum argue that nobody spends them as they are intended to be, and even less accept it as payment making everyday tasks like shopping or traveling extremely challenging if only using cryptocurrency as a means to pay for goods and services.

However, a Gold Coast, Australian vlogger created a 12-week “crypto challenge” where she set a goal of traveling to Europe to attend the annual London Blockchain Week to learn more about what cryptocurrency and blockchain offered the young woman for career opportunities.

Jaide Barclay Ditches Career for Cryptocurrency, Launches 12-Week Challenge

Crypto vlogger and co-host of the Youtube show ‘Crypto With Jess & Jaide,’ Jaide Barclay left her regular life on the Gold Coast of Australia to pursue a career in cryptocurrency.

5 BTC + 300 Free Spins for new players & 15 BTC + 35.000 Free Spins every month, only at mBitcasino. Play Now!

After investing in the digital asset class in 2017 like so many others, Barclay became infatuated with the emerging technology and disruptive financial asset. Recently, she decided that she wanted to get more involved in the cryptocurrency sector, and set out on a plane to Europe with the goal of attending London Blockchain Week.

A post shared by Jaide Barclay (@jaidebarclay) on Jun 4, 2019 at 12:18pm PDT

Before the trip, Barclay claims she had never “had never actually purchased anything with” her cryptocurrency, but through her interest in the digital asset class and through her love for travel and passion for learning more, she decided to challenge herself and see if she could “live on crypto” throughout her travels.

The vlogger shared the idea on Instagram, and the cryptocurrency community instantly supported the positivity.

Spending Crypto is Hard Because HODL, Not Because You Can’t

The tour took Barclay across seven different countries and a grand total of 16 different cities living only on nothing but cryptocurrency to pay for goods and services. The passionate crypto advocate documented her entire journey through – to no surprise – a vlog.

Barclay just completed her challenge, and says that the key to finding locations that accepted cryptocurrency was simply Googling for the information.

“I Googled places that accepted cryptocurrency in the different places I was visiting,” she said, adding that the businesses were “were either physical shops or websites that I could pay for things with crypto.”

Towards the end of her 12-week challenge, though, Barclay admits that she stopped spending as much of her crypto holdings because the price of Bitcoin was going up so much towards the end of her journey. Despite curbing her own spending due to the HODL effect, Barclay does believe that each passing year “we will see more and more places accepting it and more people knowing what it is,” and that as the “market matures and prices become less volatile, more people will start spending it.”

We look forward to those days, Jaide.

Tony Spilotro

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a digital media executive and global remote work leader with a decade of content experience and excellent. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
