Title: buying cryptocurrencies from Hawaii Post by: clowners on July 18, 2020, 11:50:35 PM I'm new to buying cryptocurrencies. I live in Hawaii. I researched many websites, but they don't do business in Hawaii. I'm looking for a website that accepts credit cards and has a wallet. Thank you for your help

Have you tried to ask some people around in Hawaii that selling Bitcoin locally? Like peer-to-peer? Maybe there is and they can accept a cash or credit card also. If none, the best choice is buy it online from some exchanges. Title: Re: buying cryptocurrencies from Hawaii Post by: mk4 on July 19, 2020, 02:01:55 AM Kraken[1] is pretty reputable(and definitely far more reputable compared to companies such as Coinbase) and as far as I know is available in Hawaii.
Another exchange that has been pretty hot on Twitter is Swan Bitcoin[2] because of their dollar-cost averaging(DCA) feature[2]. Again, not 100% sure if these exchanges are available in Hawaii as a quick Google search doesn't give much information on it's availability on Hawaii, but check them out.

The whole buying process happens online so it shouldn't matter whether they have physical locations or offices in Hawaii or not.
Title: Re: buying cryptocurrencies from Hawaii Post by: The Cryptovator on July 19, 2020, 03:25:30 AM Hello OP, seems you have created another thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5263095.0) about the same subject. You don't need to create multiple thread about the same thing, it's against forum rules. Anyway, you mean you are living is Hawaii (island) (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_(island)) which is belongs to US? So there are lots of platforms from where you will able to buy bitcoin. But I will suggest to buy bitcoin peer to peer from the forum currency exchange (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0) section by using trusted escrow. So you will be safe and you might avoid unnecessary problems about KYC and save fees as well. Otherwise, you may use Binance & Coinbase, but perhaps you have to verify your KYC multiple times since they use simplex to buy bitcoin.

It looks like the authorities there insist anyone who deals with crypto has the full equivalent in cash to back it up so no one is bothering. Coinbase won't have you, nor will Binance US and those will be the main places to use with cards. Gemini and Bitstamp thinks Hawaiians are horrible too. Kraken does look like a possibility but their USD options are always bad and no cards. If I were OP the simplest way would be to ask people you trust in other states to buy on your behalf. There are some ATMs https://coinatmradar.com/state/12/bitcoin-atm-hawai/ but it doesn't look like buying with a card online is possible. |
