I love to see you #Bluesky refugees embracing and using bitcoin. Especially when you understand the need for uncensorable money that no one can fuck with. If you'd like to buy more bitcoin, I recommend using Strike if it's available in your country. First, you deposit your dollars into Strike. Then, you create an invoice from your Lightning wallet. Next, you either copy and paste the invoice text or scan the invoice in Strike to pay it with your dollars. Boom. You now have converted those dollars into bitcoin and that bitcoin is in your lightning wallet.

This is a referral link. It gets you and I both $5 to use to buy $5 of bitcoin. πŸ€™πŸ»

ok FINE

why does it want my SSN

because this is what's known as a know your customer exchange for anti-money laundering laws. you can buy bitcoin other ways without having to give up this information, but it's a bit harder to do. Robosats is completely anonymous, but it's very complicated. https://learn.robosats.com

ahhhh. thank you. so basically theyre just asking for the same info as a bank does when i open an account?

essentially. lots of places exist to buy bitcoin without KYC information, but it's sadly a bit harder to use to do that. Bisq is another one if you have a desktop computer to run their program.

im awaiting verification but i didnt know i had to use my legal name and idk if i can change that

Just don't give out your strike name at all then. Buy on strike and then transfer to your other wallet for zapping use.

perfect good to know thank you

Dang I can't claim it if I already have strike 🀷🏽

I could use $5 in sats I'm new to holding 🀣🀣

I had someone DM me asking me. I figured if one person is asking, then others are thinking about about it too.

If you really want to be free you’ll need some of that on-chain coin

Strike gives you KYC coins, making you not really free and hanging on the hook of the government πŸ™‚

But , of course, Strike, Cash app etc are easy options
