Ascendex has p2p but they wont let me use it with an error message saying my account is at risk and before i even knew that i contacted one of the p2p sellers and he didnt even know he was listed on ascendex and demanded they remove him off the site

Apparently two other users after great pressure and held withdrawals as well was able to get 11k out each. They still wont even let me withdraw saying “the reason is unclear but when we have an update we will get back to you” for three weeks saying the same thing

Ive now reported them to the British Columbia Securities Commission, and FINTRAC. It doesnt surprise me that they dont want to be on bitcointalk, people would call them out here and wouldnt be ignored like on X

He talks more about bitcoin more than even open bitcoin lovers. The only time I see an update about something says, it's about bitcoin. If he hates bitcoin that much and he believes it's so useless and vulnerable then why does he keep talking about it all the time and saying the same thing over and again? He's a funny human. I usually just scroll past him whenever I see his statements anywhere.

I blame those that give him attention and make him relevant. Why would they decide to give him sats when he constantly talks against the coin? They shouldn't try to persuade him or convince him of anything. Let him believe of say what he wants to say.

I am not very familiar with the condition but, since it’s one that can be threatening giving a field that many of us in Bitcoin today originally sort out the cryptocurrency trading idea when we learnt of this field, although a lot changed but, the possibility of reverting to this possible is always there…

Isn’t this a condition that can be built on? I know having a pocket of information not available to you as per how price might have changed over the span of some time is scary and even worts when this timestamp runs into years.

However, these informations exists over the web and for Bitcoin it’s price hikes revolves about the months or a year after the halving and does exists on the web. Wouldn’t having to research on it serve some purpose?

You’re right, aggregators can easily check which rate will be the best. That’s a good point!


That’s true, but it doesn’t mean anything if the swap is for an amount HIGHER than their “guarantee” it won't protect you and of course the “guarantee” doesn't work on AML.


I disagree. I believe that you should not trust any links from any websites like; kycnot.me | monerica etc... especially those that list a lot of them. If the owner takes advantage of the fact that their website is "TRUSTED", they can replace a large number of websites with fake ones and carry out a very large exit scam. There are many risks associated with using “trusted” websites as anti-phishing links.

----------------

I’m thinking of making my own list of swaps that I think are good. Of course, the list will include services that never require KYC or AML. I also want to give a chance to “young” swaps that have recently been created and seem good, but of course there will also be some good old choices. This will, be only my opinion, which I have formed over several years of swaping. I am not influenced by kycnotme or other websites, because these websites often only look at the ToS or other things that can be misleading. Maybe soon? I’ll think about how to do it, and along the way, maybe I’Il find something new and interesting!?

That's what you called life. We will never know what happens next. You can always prepare by having contingencies. When you feel your health is in jeopardy, it would be better to look for options that can secure your assets.

Darker45 earlier feared that he hoped you will take the discussion serious as much as others do like he already saw your psychopath coming with the exergeration if you are a Drunk due to the manners and disorderliness you posses.
Indeed he might right but if you have remorse or are under control of yourself, you must understand that people are here spending their energies and resources just to help one another with the best way they can to solve users like you issues but it seems all efforts in your case is just vanity.
I see that you are lurker in the forum who is probably using AI or translator to generate your posts for some selfly reasons.
Taking your discussion serious could really be mentally draining. I just hope you get well.

amnesia and death are part of the risks of holding bitcoin

who knows how much coins have been lost because the family can’t have access to the coins so when we are holding a significant amount of coins, it should be in our consideration how can we give access to our family once we are no longer capable of managing those coins

it would suck to have those coins waster and for your family to not benefit from it

Yes, this happens to me and my friends often. Sometimes, some of my friends want to gamble on a site I frequently use and use my money. However, we all have an agreement: If they lose, they have to return their money immediately. If they win, 15% of the winnings will go to me. This agreement hasn't changed to this day. Some of my friends still gamble on the casino site I use and temporarily use my money.
So, I believe that in cases like this, an agreement should be made before the bet begins to avoid unpleasant situations when the outcome is a loss or a win, since there is money involved.

If they did not make any wallet backup, simply created a wallet, used it until it was broken or the device (either computer, laptop, phone, tablet) was broken, it's almost impossible to recover a wallet from a dead device or dead disk.

Wallet backups are vital for wallet recoveries, everyone must know it and must actually practice it.

It's troublesome but with centralized exchanges, even you lost your account 2FA, you can open a support ticket, do identity verifcation again to remove that 2FA and get a new 2FA activation code. It takes a quite some time for support and recovery of your account but it is possible.

With you Bitcoin wallets, if you did not back up, you will lose your bitcoins.

It's a common naive thinking but it is risky and newbies can not blame on anyone if they are educated for example with the following resource and still ignored doing wallet backups.

How to back up a seed phrase?

You're offering a service, and you have to be valuable to offer that service. Everybody who has been successful offers something to the world. If you study to become a surgeon, for example, you didn't study to do it on yourself; you have to practice it on others. The same goes for every other profession or field. Your desire drives you to invest in yourself so that you can be valuable to the market.
Even if you invest something, that thing is not for you alone; if you hope to be successful from that invention, it's for the market.


Be it a socialist or communist society, you learn skills, get an education for the sake or demand of the market. There is no way you can be successful if you don't have anything to offer to the market. It doesn't matter what it is, but it should be something that a group of people want.


I don't think that is what "investing in yourself means. That's kind of like enjoying life or living your best life. Investing in yourself means making yourself better. It can be investing in your health (reduce smoking, alcohol, eat healthier, exercise, etc), your social life (how you interact with people and all), your career, your skills, etc.
In this context, what OP is referring to is your career or skill.

Thank you for inspiring me again. I am regularly updating this thread with contributions from our forum members and my own contributions.
Yes, I think those are useful for newbies. So after you mentioned it, I added them. I also changed the category of KYCnot.
Thank you for contributing. I have updated your list in the OP.

I don't know what's going on in your country, but in capitalist countries, the government and the central bank are completely separate. Like in the United States, the Fed is an independent agency of the government and power is divided among the agencies, with no one agency having command or control over another. That means almost everything has to be open and transparent. Any major decision must be voted on and passed on the basis of bipartisan consensus. The Fed cannot secretly buy or sell national reserve assets without the consent of Congress or the members of the Fed. Not to mention, the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors always has a balance between members of the Democratic and Republican parties.

Likewise, the ECB has nothing to do with European governments and operates completely independently, but it needs to be transparent to governments.

There will always be competition between parties in government and central banks, so they even need and like transparency, not fear it.

As far as I know, most central banks publicly disclose the amount of gold, foreign currency and many other assets in their national reserves. Everything is public and they are not shy about it, why should they be afraid of people knowing how many bitcoins they hold? I don't think bitcoin's transparency is a valid reason.

However, volatility is different and I agree with you and him. Volatility offers many advantages for investment and speculation, but is clearly unsuitable and disadvantageous for a currency or reserve asset. We should need to accept that fact.

I think they are quite useful for small amounts.

I use to receive small payments such as $15-30 in altcoins, such as LTC or XMR. The cheapest way to exchange them is using swap services (which sometimes are also aggregators with third party liquidity).

This is a good way to avoid KYC and withdrawal fees.

I use such services for years...

FWIW, each people have different privacy requirement. Some may feel that using browser with fairly good privacy (such as firefox) with VPN is good enough.


The no KYC verification guarantee is also good feature, although usually you need to screen your UTXO/address using their service before performing swap.

You are right, this is the main reason why a lot of people keeps going back, even though they won't admit but it's already known that people keep going back hoping that one day they are going to smash that huge win that is going to change their life for better. I will keep gambling for the fun and also the hope that one day I can have win a huge parlay like others that have been damn lucky.

Yes, I have spent more than 10 years on the forum and nearly 30 years in various investments. Naturally, I have seen all sorts of things in the market over that time, and I can clearly see that in the crypto market—not just Bitcoin—significant changes have been happening with the entry of institutional investors in recent years. Bitcoin is increasingly following global market trends, and small investors, like you and me, no longer have any influence on the BTC price. BTC has become part of the standard offerings for investors who prefer to diversify their investments and move away from stocks, bonds, and other traditional forms of investment. My question about how the BTC market will develop further was rhetorical because none of us have a 'crystal ball' to know exactly what will happen, but I was interested in your opinion, and that's all. I have neither predicted the long-term rise or fall of BTC nor suggested to anyone to buy or sell BTC or crypto; I leave that for everyone to decide for themselves.

I would say that gambling is more about fun than trading.. Because you cannot in any way predict or go for the fundamentals of games for gambling.

In trading - it's not true, and not everybody "gambles" their way..

Good point. While seeing profitability when you start a business based on trend, but the problem is, how long? Trends do not last long, so does it mean once a new trend arise, you have to shift to a new business OP?  Your decision to create a business that depends on the trend may bring a higher risk, and to think that there is stiff competition in the market, you could have ended up wasting your money and time because your business does not click while other unique businesses have continuously thrived.

Building a business needs a resourceful mind. You don't have to ride what others are doing, but instead do what others are not doing so that there won't be any competition on your business, thus resulting your business into fast growth and progress.

Anyone doing need base business is stable approach becauae demand of these goods always remain sustain. I always wonder why people follow trend and rush towards it. Most  business design their product and taste whatever is trending. But they often forget that trend  have short life. After few times new trend arrive and people quickly shift on it. In this situation many business fail because they heavily depends on trends that have temporary hype.

Rather following the trend business should focus on creating or setting their own trends. When you introduce something unique it gives several advantages to you. Like you have face less competition, you can control the price, you can much have the higher chance of running business successfully in the long term. You become the leader of your business not follower. In some cases you become monopolistic position in your niches. But always try to update your products. As long as you keep improving and updating your product. Trend fade but innovation creates long term value. My approach is stay relevant eveny hype is gone.
