even if you buy bitcoin from robosats or bisq via bank transfer or revolut there is a kyc process involved.

i see a danger here depending on the size of the purchase.

What do you recommend?

i have already asked this question to people who are much smarter than i am.

The answer was it depends …

I think buying at a vending machine, at meetings or cash by mail are good solutions, but with other tradeoffs

Yes, although I would strongly discourage meeting unknown people in person. Especially for things like that. Cash by mail is the way. The number of orders is strongly limited though.

On the other hand, neither robosats nor bisq will allow you to buy insane amounts in one go. Robosats‘ limit is ~1500 euros per purchase, while Bisq‘ is around 0.1 btc depending on the method.

There’s a risk of being banned by paypal or wise for buying too frequently, but other than that it’s very hard to prove it was a btc purchase.

But I generally agree, cash by mail is probably the only option for paranoid sociopaths 😂🤙

What do you think about relai? 🤔

Could be done IMO. It depends on how much stacking conform you want and what your priorities are. Personally, I’m naturally inclined towards interesting technical solutions like self-hosted robosats or bisq clients, tor, etc. So I go for it. It is much more pleasant to DCA if you understand every single step of what you’re doing.

i think relai and pocketbitcoin are great solutions if you would buy by bank transfer anyway

🙏🫂💜

but you should also think about bisq and robosats ... because the topic is so important 💜🫂

Don’t forget those companies will disclose all the trade data if forced by the government .

It’s much more difficult with the private trades via Bisq, Robosats.

You are right.

This is another tradeoff and risk

💯

In the case of Bisq there’s basically no one to put presse on. Robosats devs are anons, but nobody stops you from running your own client on your node.
