My name is Olawale Moses, a Nigeria artist.

Here is my pencil drawing titled Light Play Portrait iii.

Let me know what you think!

Best tea.

Quick question: is the company US-based? I use prepaid credit cards you can buy in stores and they require you to purchase domestically (annoyingly enough).

I haven't, how does it work?

I'm done. I've literally tried every means and method of buying Bitcoin without providing identifying documents, a selfie, my left kidney and firstborn child. Not one of them has worked. I've attempted to be patient, to try all the suggestions for no-KYC Bitcoin that I've received, but again, none of them has worked. Not ONE.

I've had it up to here with this nonsense. This year-long attempt to get into Bitcoin has been a MASSIVE waste of my time. People can put their info at risk so they can buy and hodl all they want, I'm not having it. If I refuse to KYC, and can't get it via the no-KYC methods, then I have no reason to keep trying because it's a currently hopeless endeavor.

Bitcoin is some really awesome technology with some truly great potential to fix many problems, but so long as KYC exists (or, at the very least, remains this strict), people like myself will never be able to get on board.

So yeah, I'm done. Glad y'all are having fun with it but I'm not wasting any more of my time on absurd and hopeless scenarios. I don't need that kind of BS stress in my life.

haha yeah... so, i'm working on an arweave project until recently... and for curiosity i tried to buy some AR tokens

the most recommended vendor required KYC so i declined

less than two weeks later i get an email from them telling me their were hacked and heaps of people's KYC data was leaked

i don't blame anyone for not wanting to do KYC

there WILL be vendors out there in other jurisdictions seizing on this opportunity, but finding them, and being able to evaluate if you can trust them is gonna suck

but overall, in the next year i expect there will be such a strong demand for purchase of cryptos without KYC that at least one jurisdiction of note is going to open it up... maybe switzerland, at least, since they aren't EU
