My experience over the last 3 weeks is that P@xful is a snakepit of scammers and thieves. 🏴☠️ I would not recommend it to anyone who is inexperienced in buying BTC online.
After 4 aborted attempts at small purchases where each of the sellers tried to talk me into buying BTC outside of P@xful...
@Ruthiejams Before my CBP interview I didn’t know that the topic would arise and the officer hit me with it cold so no need for the Imodium 😉
The think that surprised me most is that the collective “government” pieced together info about me and connected the dots from a casual name and address...
I have had a terrible time with PAXFUL. Perhaps I'm just having bad luck but every attempt has failed - usually because the BTC seller wants to sell far more BTC than the quantity they post and want to sell offline via text message.
Two days ago I tried to buy $250 of BTC using PayPal on...
I’ve a different Paxful problem - ID verification.
Ive been trying for a week to get the ID verification to work and the Selfie step fails every time. The problem is simple... the pics of my ID upload with no problem but the site then attempts to take a selfie and despite showing my pic...
I received 4'ish about 10 years ago and then switched to a very reliable sender. (I received one about 2 weeks ago... new sender.)
I never heard anything about any of them except when I went in for a face to face GOES interview with CBP a couple of years later. The gentleman interviewing me...
Thank you @spurnky for your patience!
I was thinking about the relative risk of the two options.... 1) send from exchange to final recipient, vs., 2) send from exchange to intermediary wallet and then to recipient.
Suppose I send a dollar a week to the Snoopy for President campaign...
I’m scratching my head about the reason for using an intermediary from an exchange.
I assume that the risk is of “suspicious activity”. In my mind, in the context of cryptocurrencies, that means either high value or high frequency transactions. I’m aware that there are “Know Your...
Thank you... a few hours after I posted my question I received a LL.
As they say, timing is everything. I hope I don’t receive a succession of them; we’ll see.
I signed up for a Coinbase Pro account a couple of years ago and it was pretty straightforward and quick at the time.
The quoted ACH hold time of 3-5 business days has become a pain and, recently, has been at the 5-day end of the spectrum. I understand and appreciate the need for fraud...

I am an opal sponsor where do I find the password for the pass protected section ?
@Gulp2788:
whereas if I use fiat to buy something the money is green anyway. Monero does this really well. Anyway rant over, you can DM me if you'd like to talk more about cryptos.
@Gulp2788:
I don't really think that people understand the whole point of cryptos in the first place anymore. BTC just won't be adopted by governments because the transactions are too public and what's worse, money that is freshly minted is better than money that has been used. Like if my btc was used for something that was illegal does that mean the money is "poisoned"?
@Gulp2788:
@xenxra Yeah, Like I said I've never really been that fond of btc, it isn't used as a currency, just as a place for people to invest money in, even though the whole purpose of btc was to be a currency. If it doesn't fulfill that role, what does? Monero certainly does.

What's good guys! Just got back home. Missing football today Fuck the probowl lol

Volkanovski is the greatest featherweight of all time. Better than Aldo or Holloway at their peaks.
D@dragnetopher:
No, I don’t think it. I know it. And it’s not just bitcoin, it’s all crypto. And like I said, they’re selling to acquire liquidity for when countries truly start utilizing what’s been set in place. The USD is under controlled demolition as we speak. This is all part of it.
@xenxra:
there is no shortage of whales - https://tikolu.net/i/fmnru.png
@xenxra:
tokenisation is not a plan its already been happening for months, ive been trading this whole move on silver through ethereum
@xenxra:
you think whales are dumping bitcoin because of something everyone has known about for like 4 years? what does bitcoin liquidity have to do with trading tokenized assets? they don't have pooled liquidity.
D@dragnetopher:
Whales are tanking BTC due to the fact that the future is coming now, literally. There’s a plan to tokenize every single asset possible. This is whales dumping so they can have liquidity for the Springtime.
@xenxra:
@Gulp2788 this is a terrible spot to buy bitcoin haphazardly because it's going down another $5k -$7k if 80,000 doesn't hold. i told everyone to get the fuck out of bitcoin at $103k. it's better to buy late when the bottom is more certain than throw darts and act like the opposite outcome was unavoidable just because it went down "a lot" and everyone seems to be "freaking out". wait for it to get back over 85k
@xenxra:
@aarons the last time i said monero was on discount in here it went up 5x in 3 months
@Gulp2788:
good opportunity to buy more btc if you are gonna do so imo, me I'm buying the btc to switch into better currencies
@Gulp2788:
bah politics, no need to worry BTC is a honeypot anyway
