I'm afraid that the regulations will be even stricter. Also, the reality is that most people don't care about their privacy, and Binance losing[2] only 3% after enforcing KYC is proof of that so although I don't see what "more KYC rules" would look like, I'm pretty sure that most of our community won't have a problem complying.

What I'm more worried about right now is the "America COMPETES" bill[2] and how easily this could be abused to shut down bitcoin exchanges.

I'm personally a bit skeptical of how useful this type of service can be, especially in this type of situation, but the first thing to do would be to look them up online. If you can't find anything from Bitcointalk, Reddit (with a decent amount of upvotes and comments), or an article (excluding press releases and sponsored articles) on a reputable website, then you should probably stay away from them.

لست متأكدا من صحة هذا الخبر أو مصداقية هذا الموقع، لكن هذا مقال[1] من أسبوعين تقريبا، يفيد أن الأمر عكس ما تقوله تماما. على العموم، ان كانت عندك استفسارات أخرى، فتفضل بها

الأمر الذي لم أفهمه بعد هو لماذا تريد التعامل مع الدول العربية؟ هل أنت من احدى دول الخليج و لكن تعيش في ايران فقط؟

في حال كان الجواب ب"لا"، فأنا لا أدري كيف يمكنك استخدام البايبال في ايران لأنه و على حد علمي، البلد محظور لكن على أي حال، أنا أنصحك باستخدام منصة Paxful في حال كان بامكانك توثيق حسابك و اما، فيمكننك اما استخدام منصة LocalCryptos أو قسم التبادل في المنتدى.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Skrill started supporting cryptocurrencies long before PayPal IIRC and although they didn't support withdrawals at the start, they ended up doing it: https://twitter.com/skrill/status/1364277436519772163

So if they're serious about acquiring more users and not losing their current ones, they will definitely follow Skrill's steps.

I don't think that would work. Not using the UI anyway. Electrum checks the private keys before importing them so if you paste 100 private keys, you're not going to be able to import any of them because the "next" button will be greyed out since one of them is incorrect.

That's not working either. I don't have an account, but I tried to log in with random credentials and I got this error:


Same thing when I try to create an account:

I just checked their platform and from the looks of it, they seem to be the CEX version of Pancakeswap. I'm not sure about the specific coin you mentioned but by looking at the biggest losers (24% change) it appears that they are useless coins with no use case and with huge circulating supply, you know the type of coins we've been seeing for the last few months (like SafeMoon, ELON, etc.).

So no, I doubt that the team behind the platform has anything to do with the pumps and dumps, but I would still hold them responsible since they are approving this kind of coins for listing.

لا أعتقد أن ذلك سوف يكون عائقا:


أضف الى ذلك أن المكتب لا يقوم بالتعامل عن طريق موقعهم، بل يجب على كل من أراد القيام بالبيع أو الشراء، التوجه الى مكتبهم في الامارات. يعني التعامل سوف يكون نقدا و وجها لوجه و الذي في رأيي هو ما يجعل بلد العميل ليس بالأمر المهم، و الله أعلم.

If you're not willing to wait, you can just sell the BTC for USD again, and then find someone to buy BTC from using Paxful or Localbitcoins.

الأمر هنا متعلق بشبكة البرق أكثر مما هو متعلق بالعناوين التي قمت بشرحها في الموضوع.
و بالنسبة لشبكة البرق، الأمر مختلف بعض الشيئ، لا يمكنك استخراج مفتاح خاص أو استخدام seed من 12 أو 24 كلمة لاستخراج محفظتك، بل يجب عليك القيام بأخذ backup للملف من حين لأخر و لهذا السبب تحديدا تجد أن معظم الأشخاص تفضل استخدام محافظ custodial مثل Wallet of Satoshi، أو المحفظة التي قمت بذكرها في هذا  الموضوع، لأن كل هذه المحافظ تقوم بحفظ ملف شبكة البرق من دون أن تقوم أنت بذلك (بمأنك تستخدم ايميل أو اسم مستخدم للولوج اليها) و هذا على عكس المحافظ ال non-custodial ك zap wallet[1] أين يتوجب عليك حفظ الملف بنفسك

و يمكنك قراءة المزيد حول الموضوع في هذا المقال التي قامت محفظة كوون بكتابته[2]

I don't think I can agree with you on this one. Implementing bitcoin payments shouldn't require that much work unless they're planning to run their own nodes, etc. which most businesses are not interested in doing.

As for the demand, then I'm pretty sure a lot of people would like to see it, maybe they just didn't show interest. Freelancer platforms are full of developers and tech-savvy's, exactly the type of people who you would expect to be interested in bitcoin.

We can also look back a little, and see that Fiverr used to accept Bitcoin (2014-2017). So even now, 5 years later when the demand should be higher, it seems like there's still no interest to add it.

I understand that OP has no use for Binance P2P but just wanted to correct what you said, Binance does support Neteller actually.

As for PayPal, you might be right but I'm not sure. Did they make an announcement about it? I couldn't find any but I was surprised that even though it's listed among the payment methods, there are only 2 sell offers in EUR.

No, there is nothing to be worried about. If you visit Exodus.io you'll get redirected to the .com version. The team owns both domains.

تدفع لايران دولارات مقابل البيتكوين؟ ليس متأكدا أني فهمت السؤال و لا أرى ما علاقة ايران،  لكن ان كنت تقصد مكاتب لبيع و شراء البيتكوين، فنعم، هنالك Coinsfera في دبي و هذه هي بياناتهم:

https://www.coinsfera.com/contact-us/
https://www.coinsfera.com/buy-bitcoin-in-dubai/

و كما هو مذكور في الموقع، المكتب يقبل الدفع عن طريق الدرهم الاماراتي و الدولار أيضا.

Would you say that the milestones page is also a good indication of which features/fixes to expect, as well as the version they're planned for?

I guess it could also gives an idea of when a new release is coming, but I'm not sure how accurate it is: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/milestones

نعم أنا أوافقك الرأي لكن المشكل هنا هو أنه اليوم يوجد العديد من الشبكات و كذلك أغلب الناس تستخدم عنوان جديد في كل معاملة (في البيتكوين على الأقل) و مع انعدام وجود خدمات مجانية مماثلة لهذا البوت، لا أرى كيف يمكن تجنب هذه المشاكل مع المنصات كما ذكرت.

There's also an interview by Bitrefill on the subject: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5348319.0

I managed to find BitMask[1]. The "start testing" button is not leading anywhere but you can find find the download link[2] on their Telegram channel/Medium blog. The wallet is developed by DIBA.io (which looks legit[3]? ) although I do find it a bit strange that they claim to be backed by Tim draper, and yet they're not to be found here[4].

I haven't tried the wallet yet, but I'm going to, it looks interesting. Your thoughts on this?

Yes, everyone can create an account and if you want to order the card, you will have to be from the U.S, UK, or EU so you should be fine. Even if you're not currently residing in these countries, you could just send it from someone there, because you just need an address for the card shipping, and AFAIK, proof of residency is not required.

You can then simply link that Visa card to your Neteller card. Withdraw the funds as I said, and then transfer them to your U.S or any other bank account. I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't work for you.

Are you sure about this though? The app apparently supports the UK but IMO, whether you're going to rent a phone number or manage to use your local one, it may just not be worth it since the only supported merchant in the UK is Starbucks:
