Hi Columbo

I ranted extensively about this a few weeks back.

First I found myself unable to buy BCs on Coinbase then after trying half a dozen of the other LB recommended exchanges it became obvious that it was my UK bank blockign the purchase.

I freaked out man, 4 months after signing up with LB I found myself willing and able to purchase BCs but with nowhere to go.

In the end I ended up signing up with eToro as it is the only fully FCA approved exchange.

i could buy some BCs form my UK bank but there is a 60 days wait before being able to transfer the BCs into the eToro wallet.

Good thing I squirelled away a couple of oz :-)

As pollypuff says Governments and the banking sector are clamping down our use of crypto.

You'll have an easier time getting rich by selling unusable PPE to the UK Gov (if you have the right connection that is).

Yeah I've done some googling, and currently my bank has restrictions but still able to buy but there some sort of algorithms involved cos I tried with one amount and computer said no! And my stomach instantly dropped with the coinbase mssg that account will be locked if another declined transaction takes place, tried again with £5 more and it went through so now i have an amount and i will just stick to it. Its all all very shady, should've just moved to Amsterdam in the early days when young and free, would've been set up with a life less hectic than here with the best smoke and maybe not so best but pretty stoned ho's on tap 😂

I feel your pain.

This place is a Godsend and the thought of being unable to buy here is a downright nightmare scenario for me too.

As I said if eToro is FCA endorsed I expect most UK banks to rubberstamp eToro transactions.

Besides the wait I am still pondering using a second wallet to transfer out of the eToro wallet before paying.

Hi CosmicFlames

Yes Revolut is on my list of things to investigate but right now all of my BCs are on eToro so I'll wait until mid-Jan to see how that goes.

I'll report to the Biggas once I'll havebeen able to purchase from the eToro wallet.

The future of crypto as a method of payment by individual transaction is not bright imo.

Blockchain tech will find many uses…but “coin”….nah….they are not going to allow it…..🤷‍♂️

If you use Bittylicious it is done through BACS transfer so no worries about purchases being cancelled. I’ve been using them for a while now and never had a problem.

Buy an NFT using a marketplace that allows debit card payments, instantly floor that jpeg at a loss and pay the 10% royalties. Then either swap or bridge that crypto into bitcorn and there you will have 1% of the value left to buy your smoke. Just rinse and repeat until you have enough for your order. NFA

But I love my jpeg lol!

Just wow, perhaps my sarcasm detector is off so I'll bite in case you're being serious.

There is a reason this site is a popular clear net site when there are many many dark net, ig and tele weed sales channels. Whilst you may be trying to help, this would require much greater explanation to ensure safe transactions.

People want simplicity, speed and convienence. Your method is valid, it wouldn't help the majority though.

try wirex, its quick from topup to sending but you need to validate, you can use credit card or debit to topup then convert to btc

Anyone tried revolut yet? I have signed up but not purchased

they didnt let you send crypto externally when i looked at them, lets you buy buts its all held on the app with no external transfer options. on the flip side for holders its a safe way to store as i think i read it was insured.

Has anyone tried crypto.com? We use them sometimes and seem pretty safe.

We also receive a lot of payments from binance accounts.

One of the sketchiest of them all bro. Anywhere offering stupid amounts of roi through staking is a no no.

It's only a no no if you don't know how to use an unstake & sell button. Otherwise no harm in chasing those 395737284940274738% APY yield farms for a day or two 🤠🫴
