Story time!

So I use ShakePay as my Bitcoin purchase platform. Recently, they have been converted into an actual bank as I now direct deposit my fiat cheques there. It's quick and although it's KYC I can use a mixer to help with that. It works for now.

The other day my pay came through and this pay we got a nice bonus (what wasn't taxed by our faggot government) so I was looking forward to it.

First thing I notice is my account "has been limited."

I've been Canadian long enough to know what this means. I have done literally nothing wrong but government regulations tell this former Bitcoin, now bank app to flag any mildly different behavior as suspect and I figure the larger pay this time caused me to be flagged.

Naturally, I went to their help chatbot/personbot and without mincing words told them to fix it as I had only committed the crime of not leaving this damned country before 2020.

It was fixed quickly, but it reminded me that I need be vigilant and perhaps need to find a backup platform where I might buy my Bitcoin should this one be taken down or should I choose to eliminate it as an option with a repeat of this offense.

All methods of buying Bitcoin gave their place, but we need to be ready to give up options in favor of those with fewer restrictions and/or no KYC.

You’re in Canada! Go to the post office and buy some Bull Bitcoin. Shakepay rewards are great, but maybe make it your second choice?

Bull Bitcoin? Never heard of that.

Totally willing to make it #2 at this point. The whole point of using it in the first place was because of the mindset that comes with Bitcoin, but apparently not for these guys.

Did you check Bull out after??

No, I'm still not really sure what it is.

If you’re not willing to google another exchange you’re going to be stuck complaining about kyc. https://www.bullbitcoin.com

You can buy bitcoin at any post office in Canada, non kyc (<1000$ at a time).

Not unwilling at all, I'm simply a busy person. I figure this stuff out when I have time.

Gotcha. I won’t interfere with your complaints any more. Enjoy! 💜

What mixer are you using?
