Hey everyone,
how would you trade crypto anonymously? Which exchange requires no KYC and is pretty unlikely to cooperate with western governments?
Thanks in advance.

So I sent myself funds from a crypto site and accidentally sent bitcoin cash to a bitcoin address. I have the 12 word phrase and I've done the bip39 recovery tool and couldn't find the address with the private key. On the transaction it shows a new cash address (format:cashaddr) but my legacy address is the bitcoin address. Also, I tried getting through with electron cash but it's only in watch mode. Im emailing support but they're taking awhile. My question is, Is there anything I can do or am I out of luck?
I'd like to prove, verifiably, to some contestants in a contest I'm setting up; that I'm on the level and I do indeed have a prize ready to give to the winner.
I'm not talking escrow, I don't know who specifically is taking the money yet, they haven't contested yet and it doesn't start for another 9 weeks.
So, I'm trying to offer a cash prize, and to show off the bling on flyers and stuff.
I can't write "Grand Prize 0.0005 BTC" because that looks fucking lame, right?
What can be put on the poster to really get people's juices flowing?
Hey Fellas,
I hope you’re all having a great night.
I’ve been an avid follower of Cathie Wood and her Ark funds for the past several years. As a result, I’ve had very solid gains in the stock market following her advice. She recently said a well rounded portfolio should contain at least 5% of Bitcoin. Here’s my problem, I have none at the moment. I’m heavily invested in Fintech companies, and ARKF. Essentially I’m investing in companies that will benefit from the rise of Bitcoin. Seems silly not to invest in actual Bitcoin.
I currently have about 100k in stock market, and roughly 20k in cash. I can’t help but think my cash is just losing value sitting in the bank. I’ve downloaded cash app and have yet to pull the trigger on purchasing some bitcoin. This is not something I would actively trade. I’d buy and hold. I’d love to here some of your thoughts on how to approach this. Buy now? Wait until after the election? My risk tolerance in fairly high. I was considering just dropping 5k into bitcoin and seeing what happens... Have a missed the boat? Is it worth it?
I appreciate your input!
Has it been reviewed, are people testing it, is it likely to get merged say within a year or two?
Also how can I get involved with helping review it? Any resources welcome.
Also, could someone ELIF what it can be used for? I understand lightning network payment channels, and I looked at BIP119 but I am still a bit confused about what committing to the StandardTemplateHash gives you.
The platform allows users to sell Ergo’s NFTs – an important development in the growing DeFi movement – securely and easily. Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, aren’t a new development, but with the rise of the DeFi space they are gaining significance and finding new use cases. NFTs are indivisible unique or limited-edition tokens that can be used to represent physical or digital items: anything from a house or car to a piece of digital art, a series of images, an in-game item or other collectible. It’s already a booming sector for blockchain, and one that’s forecast to grow rapidly in the coming years. Ergo’s NFTs take a different approach to conventional non-fungible tokens on platforms like Ethereum. Like so many areas of the Ergo ecosystem, the extended-UTXO model offers benefits and entirely new use cases. NFT auctions New dapp comes thanks to huge support of one of our anon developers, anon_real, who pioneered a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to form joint spending groups that require a quorum of signatories to make a transaction. Auction House enables users to sell NFTs securely and easily, auctioning them to the highest bidder. Users need to run a full node to connect to the marketplace, but access via Yoroi will be possible in due course. The ability to sell NFTs has lots of applications, both in its immediate form and in future developments. Firstly, the NFT marketplace provides liquidity for a market that is typically illiquid. The physical art market, for example, is difficult to access for various reasons. That means it’s very difficult to value a painting; something is worth what someone will pay for it, and if there are only a few people who can bid, price discovery is inefficient. Tokenising the painting (or a digital image) and selling it securely online opens the process up to a global market of participants. This can be combined with the ability to buy and sell NFTs using a conventional DEX. An artist might initially sell their work at auction to realise the highest price, but the new owner can then trade it on the secondary market – a useful feature if the artist subsequently becomes famous. These two types of marketplace can also be used for the initial and subsequent distribution of governance tokens. A new DeFi initiative might mint, say, 100 NFTs, each representing a 1% vote in the project and conferring 1% of the platform revenues to the holder. These can be sold at auction for the initial distribution. If the owners ever need or want to sell their stake in the project, they can do so on an efficient and global market. There are lots of other potential use cases for NFTs and their marketplaces. Many platforms integrate interesting and valuable features, such as the ability for the original creators of NFTs (e.g. artists) to receive revenues every time their work is sold in the future – something practically impossible in the physical world.

Brazilian police catch senator hiding cash between his buttcheeks, source says

Not advocating what either of these guys did, but seriously - bitcoin is so much easier to move, won't make you walk funny, and doesn't smell bad at the end of the day.
There will be time i'm guessing where the global consciousness switch will look around and see theres no other opinions than decentralised finance sitting over in the corner chilling, and i think it'll be a really bizarre moment to experience thats all i can say to describe it.
I mean i feel like you're going to have kids in their basement with jeff bazos money. God i hope people in the community have good souls to give back to the community that will be suffering and we don't offer the same lack of compassion that the old financial system spared us in the first place.
A coin like ETH, BCH, and BTC have to continuously prove their value because miners need to pay their electricity bills.
So my Reddit app is now sending me notifications promotion the subreddit bitcoincashsv sounds like yet another paid advertisement but didn’t realize Reddit would do that in pms
Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to buy a small amount of Bitcoin using a card with no or limited KYC (for example, just a phone number and email). I'm interested in this for friction-minimizing purposes: I'm aware you can use a LocalCryptos or Bisq-type service to buy with no KYC. I'm wondering if there's somewhere you can go to buy say 50 bucks of Bitcoin and just enter your card info and a phone number and be done without having to make an account and submit ID and all that. ChangeNOW used to have this option but they don't anymore.
Thanks in advance!

Looking to offload some electronics that I don't need and was just worried about people potentially saying "I didn't get the item"
Has anyone had experiences with using the site before?

I asked this question in a comment in another thread, but instead of answering it was downvoted (probably by ABC supporters who don't want to see this question).
But it wasn't me that raised this very legit question - it was Peter Rizun: https://read.cash/@PeterRizun/the-best-of-intentions-the-dev-tax-is-intended-to-benefit-investors-but-will-corrupt-us-instead-012f5dbd#the-howey-test-mined-coins-vs-securities
Right now Bitcoin Cash, just like BTC, doesn't have that problem.
So IFP supporters, link me to a legal analysis commissioned by ABC to show that it's not a great risk to the $4.8B coin. Surely you have the money to get good counsel on that.
State financial regulators are now trying to attack coins on whatever grounds they can find.
IMO, not only is the IFP a horrible idea from soundness perspectives, but it opens up multiple new ways for governments to attack, including based on existing regulations.
Change my mind.
Hey fellas,
Seeing all this talk about Zoom rolling out an "end-to-end" encrypted features made me roll my eyes as the data still goes through their servers and it's still possible to spy using a "ghost participant".
That made me think, can't we make an alternative using WebRTC (which provides real peer to peer conversations without a server in the middle and e2e encryption) and accepts monthly payments with BCH, along with wallet support?
We could provide a SaaS that offers real e2e encryption and privacy this way. And I think using BitPay we could offer an easy on-ramp and convince normies to get on board.
What do you think?
Note: I don't want any donations or investments, your words of encouragement and maybe development partnership would be more appreciated!

This may have been answered before and if so, sorry for the repetition. Electron cash has said they will not support the ABC fork. Will the wallet still see both chains and work for splitting them? What if the seemingly unlikely result is ABC wins the hash battle and is still called Bitcoin Cash?
We are currently seeing a great influx of institutional investments getting into bitcoin. Companies like GreyScale, Square, CoinShares, etc are buying large numbers of bitcoin.
Such investments will not only help increase bitcoin's market cap but also increase its adoption and legitimacy.
This might be a great time to buy some bitcoin as we might see a bull run coming soon.
Here are some quick ways to buy bitcoin based on region:
USA:
India:
Europe:
Peer-2-Peer (P2P): Global
P2P platforms are a great way to buy bitcoin without any border restrictions. P2P platforms are exchanges that directly connect bitcoin buyers and sellers.
The most popular P2P platforms are:
Bitcoin ATM: Select regions
Bitcoin ATM provides the convenience to purchase bitcoin using Cash. The best part about these is that there is no need for KYC verification and the transactions are anonymous.
Although Bitcoin ATMs are only available in select regions in the world thus, making them rather limited.
I tried to search my BTC address on www.blockchain.com and it shows absolutely no balance or transactions. My BTC receive address was created when I first bought my Nano X in march 2020. I have been using it a lot, through phone ledger live app, and also my desktop ledger live app. I first noticed something was wrong when my synced portfolio on coinstats app was showing me the wrong BTC balance. So I double-checked with my ledger live app, and all seems fine in ledger live. All my other addresses for the other coins were fine in coinstats. But my BTC balance was showing me the wrong value in the coinstats app compared to my legder live app. I keep track of my crypto daily. So, the value in my ledger live app and desktop app show my BTC balance that I am sure are correct. I tried to search my BTC address on www.blockchain.com and it shows absolutely no balance or transactions. How can this happen? I do crypto transfers in BTC a few times a week. I see my balance and all my transactions in my ledger live app, but I do not see anything on www.blockchain.com. I am now afraid I have somehow got a corrupted BTC address. Is that even possible to get a corrupt address? Does this sound like a hack of some sort? Both my Desktop and Phone ledger live apps are showing me the same RECEIVE address for BTC. I can even see the same BTC receive address in my Nano X. Please help. Not sure what I can do.
