Have you explored Bisq, HodlHodl, or Robosats?
Idk what the Swann news is but I have stopped using them and my Strike direct deposit has also been cut off. So I guess now I just wait. I'll buy on major pull backs through nostr:npub1cashappn03s3cl2ljsdntv0v28e2um5lgx4vjctqjt23pcwzjhsqmtdg5l from now on.
This is a big change for me. I've been buying bitcoin every week since 2017. I have only missed two weeks in that time because I just didn't have the money at that time.
I started with Glidera through the mycelium wallet and have gone through too many bitcoin providers to count. Makes my head hurt thinking about it.
It seems like every cycle businesses go through a boom and bust.
This space moves fast. Blink and you lost your provider.
If you are stacking move it to cold storage immediately! 🫡

I have a phone. No computer. It bottle necks my bitcoin purchase possibilities.
HodlHodl I’ve successfully used iPhone and Android and Robosats I’ve used over Tor on Android haven’t been able to get it to work on iPhone.
I rarely use my computer
I assume you don't want kyc? Because Kraken has an amazing mobile app and is a solid solid exchange!
I haven't. I think I tried using bisq once but to no avail. I usually go with the easiest user interface. I don't really give a shit about kyc because I don't ever plan on selling from here on out.
You’re literally never going to sell? You could probably make a lot of money if you timed your buying and selling appropriately.
I've already sold and bought myself the life I want. I don't have to ever sell again. I have 3 decades of hard labor ahead of me if I want to do that. All the bitcoin I have is a retirement plan.
In the event I want to check out I'd move to a place where bitcoin is the reserve currency.
Until the world is populated by bitcoin citadels, I will be working I'm the analog world. 🫡
Bitcoin as THE retirement plan ? I think it would be good to diversify a little.
We never know the future , but the only lesson I’ve learnt from my life is diversification is always good and shields you somewhat from the risks.
Stocks, physical gold, etc ....
I have gold and silver. I don't do legacy markets though.
Never say never. There are (believe me) some kind of fully unexpected, external situations that force you to sell bitcoin.
