Easiest bitcoin exchange?
Hi All. I took a break from weed for a while and now need to buy some. The vendor i got bitcoin from before no longer exists so need a new one. I wasnt a fan of Coinbase in the past so need recommendations for other the simple / smooth alternatives. Cheers 🫡

Can second the recommendation of Kraken, always been really user friendly for me, then I use exodus for the anonymous wallet

I took a long break too. I used to use Paybis with no problem but when I came back it wouldn't verify my account. Tried a few and ended up with Coinbase and have to say I haven't had any problem with them. I find the whole bitcoin thing a pain in the arse but it's been relatively pain free with Coinbase for me.

Have a look at bisq.network, its a p2p network were to buy crypto from other 'users', no ID required.

After many years my bank stopped letting me send money to any crypto exchange the daft cunts.

So I opened a Revolut account that is both a bank and a crypto exchange thereby making it even simpler as its all inhouse, fast and efficient. Nice!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, as a revolut customer myself, have you seen the email that went out at the end of last week?
In a nutshell, they have stated that they will no longer permit crypto transfers to any and all previously used addresses/wallets. So that's it as far as LB is concerned I fear.

Oh, I didn't see that email, thanks. My only thought is that LB generates a new address for every order so it won't be previously used. I've always just sent it direct to LB. Have you tried yet since this notification? I wonder if Revolut will let me send cash to Bitpanda?- then I can carry on as before.

This is all getting very tedious!

yeah all very tedious! I thought that card transactions for crypto were sometimes flagged but not transfers. How did the bank announce the block Polly? What idiots. Oh and was wondering about that too - what about a transfer *from* Revolut to the exchange? Or from Monzo or something.
+3
pollypuff23
It was nuts. The transaction was blocked with a message to call the Fraud Department and I was transferred to Crypto Fraud. This has happened before and I have explained that I am building a small crypto portfolio with regular small transfers, no I am not being co-erced or blackmailed and there is nobody holding a gun to my head for my 65 quid.

I could tell they were out to get me this time. They took the account number and sort code of the transfers and eventually came back with "that account has been connected with fraud".

My points were: "so you are saying Bitpanda is a fraudulent business?"

"No, we are saying that account has been reported for fraudulent activity"

"But thats their bank account. Why don't you discuss it bank to bank? Its nothing to do with me, I've used it dozens of times over a number of years as you can see and I have no concerns"

"We cannot authorise transfers to that account"

End Of. This is just sweeping up the little guys for effect whilst the big guys trade billions every single day. Pathetic.

Thanks for the info - jesus christ, so ridiculous! Treating us like children (it's our fuckin money to spend!) so they can tick their anti-fraud boxes (while allowing the fat cats to run amok). I once had a bank call me up suddenly to lecture me on my spending habits...and then try to sell me insurance on the same call. Have you tried Coinbase btw? I think with them it's better to send to an intermediary wallet first, before LB, cos they do their own blocks - but they generate you individual bank details with your own name to transfer to the exchange. Might help with your issue!

All addresses that you send to on LB are brand new, never used before, and zero balance, so I have no idea how this is flagged to the exchange if sending directly. My Phantom wallet specifically warns me that this is a zero balance address with no previous transactions, and do I wish to proceed. Invariably I do.
+2
joedassinmosquito2
Oh yeah good point, I don't get it either. But I've definitely heard of people sending direct from Coinbase and getting banned or shadowbanned (ie the transactions just never go through). Maybe they are going by something else, some algorithmic pattern. I've always used Exodus in between just in case (although one person on here claimed they got shadowbanned when always sending to a self-custody wallet first). But, in any case, it seems like any bank can just arbitrarily decide to block us from sending to a specific crypto exchange. Which is shit. Coinbase has some disclaimer where it says banks are increasingly doing this, under the guise of fraud prevention, to clamp down on crypto use. They recommend using Revolut or Monzo to fund the account (but seems like the former is turning the screws as well...ever since it became an official bank? I might open a Monzo account as well, just in case)

Came through on the 23rd. I'll put up a copy once I've de-personalised my version. Or something like that. Makes pretty depressing reading.
Personally I think this is just the start of a prolonged effort to stop bitcoin being used as we and many, many others do.
They're not interested in the whales, it's the minnows they're after. But we're not stupid are we. If we can come up with LB, then we can work out another payment method too. I think we must. And quickly. If you can't pay, then it all falls apart.
+2
MightyRux
So get a fresh non-KYC wallet like Phantom or Exodus? Or am I missing something else?
+3
Itchy Feet
Yeah. They are now extremely picky where you send your property. No non-kyc wallets allowed.
+2
MightyRux
How would they identify that the wallet was a non-KYC wallet?
+2
Itchy Feet
They don't have to. Their attitude is now that if you must buy cryptocurrency, then it must be held in one of their all new wallets and cannot be transferred. All details will be compliant with HMRC.
This is if course all connected to their recent upgrade to Bank status. They want to keep that and do not want any accusations of facilitating the purchase of illegal drugs. Bastards.
+1
joedassinmosquito2
do you know if they allow you to just do a transfer to an exchange? Would be a way around it. Oh and such bastards.

You can buy it P2P on Bisq or Robosats, then move to Exodus and then pay through Exodus app. It has more privacy than straight from bank card - Exodus / Kraken and final to Transaxe.
