Reconsider. Crypto has been outed as a scam for almost a decade now. If something requires it, it's absolutely a scam.
Im no expert and Im not trying to protect crypto, but this is bullshit. Its a wild market and there is a lot of scam going around it. Its like saying ebay or aliexpress is absolutely a scam. Im owning crypto for 8 years and while I did experience a scam (nicehash), most of the experience was not like that. Was mining, trading, bought loads of appliances and computer components, withdrawals...
Dont have a good suggestion for OP tho, but maybe local forums have trade topics where you can find a seller and meet them in person. Its been much easier 5 years ago, but seems like almost everyone is asking for ID nowdays
There are two people, those who think bitcoin is a scam and those who benefit from the scam.
Hehe, I like your theory, but here is mine:
There are two people, those who bought bitcoin and those who didnt. Who ever bought it, made a profit because bitcoin is at all time high price right now 🙃
If you're asking me if i'm jealous the answer is no: why would I be jealous of someone who isn't allowed 6 feet around a school?
This is absolutely not true. Are there scams? Sure. But there are plenty of legitimate businesses that use crypto. Take Proton, Kagi, Gratuitas, and Travala as just a few examples.
Crypto and Bitcoin are not the same.
Please explain how bitcoin is not a cryptocurrency.
I suggest reading this article and jump to the "WHAT ABOUT BITCOIN?" section, which explains this concept of their differences.
What a garbage piece of advertising. Bitcoin isn’t cryptocurrency because it’s better than those other cryptocurrencies. LOL.
Bitcoin is not a Venture Capitalist controlled, pseudo-decentralized scam. There is no CEO. The rest of crypto are all scams or were built to "fix" a utility that didn't need fixing. Only the money supply and its ownership needed fixing, which is why Bitcoin was created as a permissionless, immutable, decentralized, and deflationary currency. Unlike all fiats, which have been grossly debased in recent years through manipulation by bankers.
Please explain how bitcoin is not a cryptocurrency.
You’re just arguing it’s a better cryptocurrency.
No, you're still missing the point. Bitcoin is the only one that was built out of a self-less, cypherpunk cause, to allow the dismantling of central banker's grasp on people's financial sovereignty. The crypto that spun up after bitcoin are all garbage, save for maybe Monero.
Lol, braindead. So scammy Bitcoin even has an ETF now!
