"How to buy Bitcoin" -

[Antarctic Hellbeast]

I think it's mostly a convenience toy, but if you're holding serious amounts of crypto - enough that you're a high-value target for hacking, say - it may be useful to have a means of storing your keys that's not quite as "cold" as writing it on paper, but still not on a computer.

so a portable medium?

If you did your USA taxes this year, you may have noticed a trap question about Cryptocurrency.

IRS is getting frustrated.

That question was on the 2019 tax returns as well. A couple weeks ago, they got a couple more court orders granted against two crypto exchanges, who are now required to surrender shitloads of customer information to the IRS.

who are now required to surrender shitloads of customer information to the IRS.

Yeah, I recommend not lying to the IRS about this if you've ever used an exchange that does KYC or bought crypto using a credit card or anything like that. They already know.

So is Null's OP still reliable for buying coin? I'm looking into making the dive and grabbing some doge to start. Nothing crazy just $20 to start

I would love to buy BTC with Biden Bux, but that would probably flag you like a motherfucker.

Having a real chore of finding a decent exchange that meets the requirements of 1) having the coins I want, 2) not raping me with fees, and 3) managing to stay online when big movements happen.

I'm using Uphold because of their Brave integration and it's a piece of shit.

For research I used a VPN to check out a platform that met my requirements but that's closed to Amerifats, the problem is that even they had some form of KYC that greatly limits withdrawals if you don't fill out the criteria.

Is this the norm?

To give you some credit, you seem to be ahead of me in figuring this shit out. I'm still trying to figure out how to securely buy this stuff. This ChukECheese money shit is beyond me.

I guess I need to make an Electrum Wallet, then buy doge off of KuCoin?

I've saved up a bit of money over the lockdown cause I can't spend it on getting wasted so I've been thinking of getting into crypto. I figure with the coming economic crisis, my country's money may not be that good in the future. Is crypto a good alternative? I've been hearing that it may collapse as well, but it could be better than relying on regular money.

If someone can explain to me like I'm retarded (cause I am) if this is worth looking into that'd be sweet.
