I don't know enough about Venmo.

But at this point, you cannot recover them. They are essentially held hostage.

Yeah, that's what I think they've done. Looks like I may have to play the dirty Fiat game with them all the way to the bank (literally) and buy Bitcoin from there. Sad sad.

I'm laying down with my little one for nap time currently. I'm going to try one last ditch effort and scan a QR to send instead of copy/paste an address and see if that does anything for me. Maybe a desperate attempt and contact customer support before I convert back and send to my bank. It's pretty pathetic the way these companies put so much more effort into extorting their customers instead of just providing quality service and EARNING the money that they're instead stealing.

The best way to buy sats is KYC free. Try nostr:npub1p2psats79rypr8lpnl9t5qdekfp700x660qsgw284xvq4s09lqrqqk3m82

I dca monthly and plan to try to robosats for that this month.

This Fiat is rent that I usually turn around and put back into the property. I just had a little extra and figured I'd like to see how buying Bitcoin directly through them is. I guess I didn't like it at all 😅

Trial and error. Mistakes. We learn lessons along the way. I've made costly lessons for myself. I don't feel like paying for it again tho!

Bitcoin ethos has helped greatly.

Don't trust. Verify.

Scanning a QR rather than a copy/pasta of the address seems like it may work. Jumping through their kyc hoops currently. I think waiting on verification before allowing my send. But it at least looks promising.
