This is a new doc I made from my original, now possibly deleted post. It includes new information to further increase OpSec via the Sept 2025 Addendum section you will see below the original, largely unchanged post content. I also moved it to rentry vs. pastebin and can edit further if needed going forward. If I do, I will make a post announcing that here in this thread.

If you're looking to get started with purchasing and using BTC in a relatively safe manner, this is how it can be done. Keep in mind, I am no authority on this, but it has consistently worked well for me and without issue.

One of many easier ways of buying and having usable Bitcoin: Download, install, and open CashApp on your phone. Make an acct if needed, log in. Tie a debit card to it. DO NOT USE A BANK ACCOUNT/ACH Transfer. This will take several days vs. instant w/ debit. Swipe or navigate to left side of the m...

Anymore I prefer BTC ATM's, quick and low fee's. Just Google BTC ATM's near you
 
No issues with that approach, but are you not on-camera then at a BTC ATM, which is ostensibly not great opsec compared to a just using a normal ATM and making an extra stop?

YMMV. But totally you could do that. I just never trusted them, personally.
 
your addendum logic is completely flawed from the start. cashapp is a fincen regulated company and crypto is not fringe anymore, it's not illegal or "suspicious" to own or purchase crypto and they're not going to flag your account for spending money on an app that is designed for spending money. i never had issues with this kind of thing way back in 2014, nobody is going to care in 2025. there's no legally defined standard for how people are allowed to structure their finances. this is basically tweaker levels of paranoia.

Are you a lawyer? Specializing in finance fraud or similar cases? I didn't think so. "I haven't had an issue since 2014" hardly qualifies as hard evidence that my addendum was "flawed."

I don't know why people can't have civilized conversations on here or other forums, Reddit, social media in general without becoming frothy. You linked some good material, I made and shared some good material. Let the good people of DBG figure it out between the two (and many more I am sure).

And yes, I know crypto isn't inherently "evil" or meaning you're up to no good. Maybe I'll re-word that a bit to make it a bit clearer that it's not the intent. But, that's the issue with the written word now, isn't it? Nuance and tone is poorly conveyed depending on who might be reading it. I couldn't be less paranoid, Xenxra.

However, being in an adjacent field with years of experience (guess you'll have to take my word for it), Bank of America continually seeing "CashApp" w/d for several hundred dollars perhaps 2, 3, 4 times per week will potentially flag an account. Doesn't mean they are going to do anything about it. But, by doing this via cash-loading, don't you think that adds a layer of safety? I acknowledge the ATM has a camera and so do retail outlets. One could make a flimsy argument that those things could be used to track someone for this singular purpose. But, I doubt it highly and that's some fringe paranoid thinking. Not what I wrote, which vendors have thanked me for providing for their use. So, I will take their years of experience on the other side of this magazine sub business over your critique any day.

Have a good one.

i've read numerous criminal indictments about these types of things over the last decade, i do have a background in law - more specifically CRYPTO COMPLIANCE, yes and i've spoken to vendors and people who work in the regulatory field on crypto about these types of things. I've also had interactions directly with the FBI and exchange employees about this kind of stuff and that's verifiable through a couple people on here. The rest of your reply is irrelevant due to that fact so I won't bother reading it.

Stop making assumptions about what experience you believe other people have for whatever your basis on that take was. There are plenty of people on here with backgrounds in higher education fields.

Also, when I said "I haven't had an issue since 2014" - "i" was more of a catch-all for "me and well over a couple hundred people i've spoken to about the same activities in that timeframe"

Have a good one.

Just like you'll have to take my word for certain claims I made, I have to take any claims you make about research or potential expertise, professional or not, with a lot of salt. So, a crossroads it appears.

DBG users can use my guide or not. I really don't care. I enjoyed writing it.

Adios.

  7. T @ Thedoccc: Hey y'all, wanted to tell you that I signed that second contract I was hoping for. Which should keep me afloat for the rest of the year, and hopefully 2026 if all goes well. Appreciate your encouragement, love, prayers and out reach. I was really feeling low last week and needed that extra bit of <3
  8. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: hahhah right on man. they spent so much bread.
  9. L @ Layne_Cobain: Could b worse dude could be a met fan right now 😂 that payroll and no playoffs 😳 I kinda feel bad for em such an insane collapse and so insanely opposite of what happened last year with them starting terrible then catching fire all the way to the nlcs
  10. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: That Texas playoff series last year crushed out spirits lmao. They wrecked us.
  11. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: No you're pretty much spot on. We've been playing better since the firing of Hyde but I think it's just coincidence. Even though he was terrible at putting the correct relievers in at the wrong time.
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: Exactly didn’t make a good enough offer to Burnes to keep him and didn’t go after any other top pitching then when things were over come deadline traded away a bunch altho I don’t think any of them besides O’hearn and maybe a reliever or two were doing that well but I could be remembering wrong
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: *bucks
  14. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Just needed pitching. And mister big buks didn't spend sh1it hahhaha.
  15. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: We were stacked and ready to go.
  16. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: I'm in the same boat as you. The blame goes on the owner and Elias (our GM)
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: I was just thinking that bro I honestly didn’t think Hyde was all that bad but when things go south it’s usually the managers on the chopping block to make the point …I think there’s some decent managers out there looking for a spot
  18. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Be interesting to see who our manager is next year.
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Yeah, he talked all that shit bro. "We're finally gonna start spending money and active in the trade market: LOL
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: Bro I couldn’t believe the year you guys had I mean it seemed over before it started for a team that had high expectations…that new-ish owner needs to put his money where his mouth is
