**Bitcoin for Peptides**
**Do you wonder why you can’t use your credit card to buy peptides from China?**
Why you can’t use PayPal, CashApp, etc?
The seller wants Bitcoin because with other ways of spending money, you can call up the bank and reverse the transaction and the seller cannot do anything to stop you. You can do this even after you have received the peptides. The seller uses Bitcoin because once you’ve transferred it to them, there is no reversing the transaction unless they agree.
You need to use Bitcoin because if your government or your bank knew what you were buying, they would not permit you to spend the money.
Bitcoin provides final settlement and a way to transfer value without needing the approval from anyone else.
**Why can’t I buy Bitcoin and send it immediately?**
When you buy Bitcoin on an exchange like Coinbase with money sitting in an external checking account, if they were to let you transfer the funds immediately, you could call your bank and cancel the transfer. You’d get the Bitcoin, because that transaction cannot be reversed, but Coinbase would not get the USD. So instead they require that you wait until the ACH transaction settles before the Bitcoin is officially yours to send.
**How can I buy Bitcoin and send it immediately?**
One solution would be to put money on your exchange 3-5 days before you intend to buy the Bitcoin. Keep enough money there so that you can buy what you need with “settled” money. You will then be able to send it immediately.
**Why is Bitcoin better than stable coins (USDC)?**
This is my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.
Sending Bitcoin requires you pay a fee just like with USDC, but you do not need a separate coin (ETH, SOL) to make the transfer. Bitcoin is what you spend for “gas” so you just need Bitcoin and you are ready to spend.
**How can I buy peptides with more privacy?**
Learn about Bitcoin wallets. Buy more Bitcoin than you need for this purchase, and transfer it to a mobile wallet. You can then spend from your mobile wallet without involving anyone else.
**Isn’t Bitcoin volatile?**
It can be, but long-term Bitcoin appreciation far exceeds stocks, bonds, real estate.
**Summary**
Bitcoin is a single asset you can hold on your phone and spend without involving a middleman.
