hello hello I am back if you haven't seen my videos before my name is Ben parin I'm from Calgary Canada and for the month of December 2014 I am living on bitcoin this is made possible by broker.com they've offered to pay all of my bills for the month as long as I try to live on bitcoin they've already provided me the funds and now I'm figuring out how to use them this one's going to be short and sweet actually I've got two bills that I thought would be very difficult to deal with that have actually worked and gone through one of those is my ts Mobility phone bill and the other is my rent so both of those went through in the past uh couple of days here and the process for both of them was pretty much the same so I logged on to broker.com and for each of them I made a listing in the listing I had to put down the amount for the bill I had to describe exactly what I needed the person to do as well so in the instance of my teles phone bill in the description I said that I would need somebody to log on to their Canadian bank account it needed to be Canadian because it's a Canadian company they would need to add a paye on their online banking and in the additional details I gave the account number that they would need to make a payment to I was a little worried I was going to find anybody with a Canadian bank account but I was actually contacted by somebody from the UK who had come over here on a working Visa a couple years back and they had a Canadian bank account so they were able to pay the bill it showed up on my account a couple days afterwards and as soon as that happened I released the funds from escrow I'm happy with a paid phone bill they're happy with Bitcoin now for my rent it was a little bit different because I typically pay my rent via email money transfer still the same process I put up a listing and I described in it that I needed somebody to log on to again their Canadian bank account and I needed them to do an email money transfer to my landlord when this happened um of course I got confirmation from my landlord that the funds had come through and as soon as that happen I release the funds I'm happy with my paid rent they're happy with their Bitcoin so all in all this has been great um it's been working really well for me so far on this site um things that I didn't think I'd be able to pay for I can and uh I'm looking forward to the rest of the month I'm excited for the next video uh it's I suppose Christmas themed uh usually around this time of year myself and my fiance we head up to the Canadian Rockies which isn't too far from my home um and we spend a day there get a hotel and we enjoy the scenery do some Adventure things um so we've got a day of skiing planned we've got a hotel booked um and a couple other things and uh it's been paid for with Bitcoin so I look forward to seeing you for the next one thank you very much for watching and see you soon so you
