Rhys Fisher, cross country paraglider, demonstrates how to make your mobile top-ups while flying out of clouds…!

On the 20th of October, Rhys’s video went live on Youtube. It’s just like any other mobile app walkthrough, except this time… it’s being done while hanging thousands of feet above the ground!

We spoke with Rhys, and here’s what he told us.

“There’s no doubt about it, Bitrefill is a lifesaver! When I’m crossing mountain ranges with my paraglider, having mobile credit in an emergency can mean life or death.
Also, when there’s a good weather window to cover distance in the air, I want to be flying… not waiting around on the ground for mobile top-up stations like tobacco shops or fuel stations to open!
Just this summer, a friend and I was on an expedition in the Pyrenees for an upcoming youtube movie project, and due to strong winds, we got separated in flight. I ended up on this peak–without credit–desperately trying to warn my partner about a developing thunderstorm. Thanks to Bitrefill, a top-up arrived within in few minutes, and I was able to coordinate a new plan with my team mate!
What’ great about this service is that so long as I have some Bitcoin and can find a wifi or 3G, I can top-up. And that’s huge! Not just for paragliders. But for nomads. Travelers. Anybody who can’t or doesn’t want to rely on a physical location for their mobile credit recharges. Anywhere. Anytime. Bitrefill rocks…!
I use Bitrefill over competing services that let you make top-ups with credit card, because for the most part, Bitrefill works out cheaper… It’s simple, quick, and a fun way to make good use of the cryptocurrency.”

Anywhere, anytime, to anyone… we mean it!

Rhys is planning some big paragliding expeditions next year, and as far as we know, he’s the first athlete to be funding his stunts with Bitcoin. If you’d like to support his adventures, you can donate here. (3GuUfR1KyBWYKdksq1WTcL7kenNcj8onse)
