329 sats \ 4 replies \ @BlokchainB 1 Jan \ on: The Taboo Against P2P Liquidity Providers Must End bitcoin
Good luck. I’m fully cucked on KYC exchanges due to my needs for liquidity.
My issue with using robosats and bisq is the payment methods that sellers take are from 90% KYC sources like Zelle, cash app, and strike. I only found one seller on bisq who did money orders but the logistical nightmare I had to do just to buy $50 worth of bitcoin wasn’t worth my time anymore.
I used to use an ATM with a burner phone but then the ATM asked for ID at lower limit.
The P2P options are just terrible. If you have better luck I would love to know.
I think almost everyone who uses Robosats to buy bitcoin just lives with the fact that at least one other person (the seller on Strike), they are "kyc'd".
Though actually you don't know the name of the person that you received fiat from, you just know their Strike nickname. But of course Strike could figure it out.
Hey, it's 1000 times better than regular KYC exchanges. It's a question of degree. There's still far, far more privacy doing P2P exchanges.

I can't disagree with anything you say. Giant pain in the ass. The least painful way, as I see it, is buying an Amazon gift card with cash at a drugstore, then heading over to robosats. That is still inconvenient.

Yeah those cards have fees and limits.
The KYC thing used to bother me alot but then I thought BTC is limited in supply. While sure I’m keeping my privacy I’ll end up with a lot less BTC then a person who buys on coinbase and just secures it away.
Plus bitcoiners should play offense too. Change the law. We can change the laws that will ban KYC and mandate exchanges to delete the data.
But western men are cucked so they LARP and complain about the state with out risking a damn thing to change it.

Yes. Governments did a lot in a hindsight. It is about a time to have more adoption meaning that accepting and paying with Bitcoin.
