Bit Coin Insanity
So the bitcoin situation has always been a bit irritating but I had a good setup and few issues over a couple of years. Then the UK Govt come along fuck me (and probably others) right over with their pain in the ass regulations. I just want to buy bitcoin to use as payment, don't care about investment.

But now I'm having transactions declined and even my card frozen which meant I couldn't get the bitcoin to pay for my order today which, as you can maybe tell, has proper pissed me off. Then I sign up for another app and was verified and all of that shit but i get the feeling that unless the get a sample of my blood and brain tissue they aint gona be satisfied.

I'm mainly wondering if others have had virtual walls put up and how they're getting around this? Even a reliable place/app to get bitcoin? I just can't tolerate this crap at all and I was in a good mood this morning! Now I want to take my anger out on random members of the public...guess i'll be needing that weed. Either that or I emigrate to Canada or Germany!

Blockchain and HBOS stay away from mastercard though with the stupid fees after the halfing event its knackered just now as well.
Yea i used to use Virgin mastercard until the new regs then they just shut it all down.

actually gave that a look too...not gona lie, seems a bit iffy at first but I can see how that would be a useful way to get around the regs etc. i'll keep it as a back up I think!

I mainly top-up my Revolut account using my main bank account to buy/send crypto. I avoid extra scrutiny by sending to my own wallet first before sending to a lb order, which in turn means 2x the btc fees. the usual hoops still apply though. occasionally they'll refuse a btc send before freezing the account to do whatever checks they have. majority do kyc compliance to avoid money laundering and expect this will only tighten over time.

i did something similar where I bought it on one app and sent it on another but that wasn't practical...then my bank stopped allowing transactions for bitcoin thru applepay. Then I got another account that did...and now they don't either...just feel they have no business telling me how to spend my money, especially considering i've never been in debt or anything. If other ppl are stupid enough to not know it's a risk then they deserve to lose their money frankly.

Anyway I'll need to check Revolut out...i suspect there's no getting around this and I'll just have to accept it...I'm waiting on a buying cooldown of 24 hours on one app...as if i've got some major problem and get the sweats if i'm not trading bitcoin XD anyway cheers!

There are No KYC platforms out there, although they can be riskier, p2p is a good way to buy Bitcoin.

Santander bank and coinbase, there's a 3k limit a month.. then I send all my transactions to my own exodus wallet as its whitelisted on coinbase so I never have to pass any checks now, when fees were high around Christmas i sent directly to LB from coinbase and they withheld the transaction for hours

Cal-fornication
yup a bit shitty but it seems you've got a way of doin it that works. So long as there's not too many hoops to jump thru!

I was using Exodus to buy and send but it seems the UK have stopped Exodus selling now so I had to boost over to Coin Corner. Fees are pretty shit everywhere tbh but Coin Corner has been hassle free and simple to use, thus far anyway!
+1
Cal-fornication
yeah i thought so too but as i've mentioned to a couple of ppl, if you go direct to the moonpay site exodus uses it seems to do the trick if you've been verified already anyway.

Need to remember Coin Corner tho, anything that makes it easier!

I have a nationwide bank account, I buy bitcoin on paybis which uses gpay linked to my bank account, transfer it to exodus. Not the cheapest, but hassle free.
+1
Cal-fornication
yeah I did something similar when i had issues with buying on exodus but ultimately figured out how to get around the issues.

And yeah not cheap but it seems there's loads of ways ppl do it so it's a case of whatever works with this stuff I think.

I’m having same trouble with new Uk regs
I don’t know where to go everything I’m trying isn’t working
Waiting on 24 hr activation but will it work ?
Bloody nightmare
+1
Cal-fornication
Yeah I hear that! I had a 24 h activation thing too but I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to buy coin after that. I actually resolved my issue in an irritating round about way.

Basically I had to just go direct to the site that my app uses and get the coin direct. I had already done verification etc. so I had no issues after that.

Hope you get access and can buy some coin!

I've used a trader for last 4/5 years who accepts payment by bank.
Still have to go through ID checks, bank statements etc, but, it works for me.

Hey, yeah it was thru Monzo that my card kept getting frozen due to suspicious activity lol. Not sure why that was but hey it worked out. I sorted it by going direct to a crypto site I was already verified on, as it wasn't working thru the app for some reason, kept popping up with a thing saying the site wasn't available in my region when I tried to buy thru the app, which was exodus btw.

Saw a post on reddit that said they had that issue and just went direct, so I did and it worked!
