Train ride round trip Edinburgh to Bristol, literally the length of England and back £100. About $130. Amtrack 1-way Seattle to Bellingham ~120 miles, $150.The U.S. sucks. Public transit should work for the people, not auto manufacturers and gas companies.

I saw a lot of drug dealers in Bristol using a Bitcoin ATM to bank their profits. It seemed like a great idea until you think about the total lack of privacy on Bitcoin and the cctv camera pointing at it.
