If you want to minimize the fees, you have to eliminate the third parties from the equation. I'd suggest you use Binance P2P, there are no escrow fees. Just make sure to buy from individuals with good rates. You only have a fixed fee of 0.0006 BTC (~25$ with the current rates) when you want to withdraw the funds to your ledger.

Another good P2P platform is LocalCryptos. You only have a 0.75% fee but the liquidity is low compared to Binance, you may find a difficult time finding people to buy from (depending on the payment method)

Ledger S is a great choice, but since you're planning to store many cryptocurrencies, I suggest you wait for a little. They're releasing the Ledger S Plus[1] next month which should allow you to install up to 100 apps (the current model doesn't allow as much[2]).

I could be wrong but I don't think it's the case. I started receiving this type of email from all kinds of services (Coinbase, Trustwallet, MetaMask, etc.) since Coinmarketcap's email addresses leak back in October[1] so it's possible that the scammers simply decided to target more wallet providers.

I got a couple of emails this morning as well from:


And of the email was redirecting me to:


Only one of these domains is using Whois guard, but I'm guessing the credentials are fake.

See this interview with the Director of Marketing (see 9:38)[1]. Apparently, there are quite a few things to be excited about.

Any guesses on the country adopting bitcoin as a legal tender next? It doesn't look like it's going to be Honduras[1].

Any names that come to mind? I believe Mandala exchange used that but it did have some restrictions. I'm not even sure if they're still running since their CMC page is longer reporting anything.

If the transaction has been confirmed, I'm afraid not. Do you mind sharing the address you sent the funds to? Maybe you can track the funds to see if they were sent to a CEX with KYC.

Judging by what the site looks like and the fact that the domain has been registered a couple of weeks ago, I'm afraid that you sent the funds to the wrong site. How did you come across that site exactly? It's not showing in google results when I write it down.

You can start by checking this list[1] (trading services, exchanges, and trading bots). It should have most of the crypto affiliate programs out there but not all of them support forex or copy trading.

Cloud mining is not the same thing as mining using your browser but they're both a waste of time, I wouldn't waste my time doing that if I were you.

As for the platform you mentioned, I never tried it myself, but it looks legit[1][2]. I just find it strange that I've never seen anyone discussing it on the forums before.

The user has been banned already. Someone else reported this earlier: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5392542.0;topicseen

Although it's possible to get infected by visiting a website, I don't think you were. It looks like the user's intention was to just gain access to other members accounts.

No, you can't make money by running a bitcoin full node. The coins you're referring to are proof-of-stake coins, bitcoin is proof of work. See the difference between the two[1].

I don't think that people are using Purse.io as much as they used to, so you might find a hard time finding someone to fulfill your order.

In addition to the suggestion given by hugeblack, if it's the discounts that you're after, there is also Paxful. Just make sure to trade with reputable members.

بالفعل، بالاضافة الى المنصات التي ذكرها الأخ أولفين، يبدو أن هنالك منصات أخرى بصدد الانتقال الى دبي (Bytbit و Crypto.com)

كما أنه تم منح رخصة مؤقتة لمنصة BitOasis الامراتية:

 بما أن هنالك شخص تعرفه متواجد في السعودية، يمكنه استخدام الدولار أو الريال السعودي لشراء البيتكوين عن طريق منصة رين مثلا: https://www.rain.bh/service/account/list-of-supported-countries

ثم بعد ذلك، يمكن له تحويل البيتكوين لأي عملة مشفرة أخرى يريدها و ارسالها اليك لمحفظتك الخاصة

I just added a warning to the OP.

The documentary is out for anyone who wants to watch it. Here's an (interesting?) ongoing discussion about it if you want to know more about it before watching:

No, not as far as I know. IIRC, when you try to make a deposit with an unverified account, they'll tell you to verify your identity first and won't even give you an address to deposit to. Maybe you can try doing that.

It shouldn't cost you more than 1$ per transaction regardless of the amount being transferred. An exchange might charge you a bit more compared to non-custodial wallets though.
