Well, the possibility of ever happening such is so low that it's astronomically impossible lol. As well, if I ever get that, I would probably send a very minute amount of coins everyday to another wallet for my daily spending and do so in a way that not raise eyebrows or in a way that connects my identity to the wallet

 Everything time you send a small amount, you would also send a large amount as your change tx though.  Hard to do that discretely.  It would be noticed.

Every stinkin' one I've ever encountered in the USA wants some form of ID
You gotta give Europe a visit then. Here we have quite a lot of them with no KYC up to a certain sum per tx or no KYC at all. I haven't tried cashing out though, that might be a different story. I have never encountered a KYC situation when buying though.

I'm pretty sure that European governments will implement KYC regulations as well.
And by the way,visiting another continent just to use an ATM seems like a pretty stupid idea. Grin

Good work with the ATM map,OP.Now it's time to promote your service and get more people to use it.
I never knew that there are 2 ATMs in my country's capital.Unfortunately I live in the province,so I can't visit the capital every day. Sad

 The first Bitcoin ATM I used was in Bucharest.  I bought coin and I had to scan my ID.  I had such a desire to try one of these new machines that I overlooked the ID requirements.  Since then, I have approached many machines to check rates and requirements... there are machines that only require a valid phone number up to certain limits (in US and Canada) which is good because KYC hasn't been implemented on phone numbers...yet... but this information is very hard to find online.  It would be nice to know all the information about an ATM without having to travel to it.

the lithiums have made impressive strides in energy density, outpacing your Trojans by a fair bit

that said, and I am quite aware of the dangers inherent in H2SO4, if I had one of those power walls it would be installed in an airtight bunker some distance from the dwelling...

when lithium decides to do the bad, it is really bad

Which dangers of sulfuric acid are you talking about specifically?

 Hydrogen off-gassing during recharging.  Really bad in a closed space.

edit: it can also whiten your fingernails as long as you're quick about it.  Too long and I think they'll totally dissolve... fortunately I didn't wait that long Smiley
2984  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Bitcoin ATM map on: February 28, 2020, 11:22:59 PM
Has anybody actually used one of these ATMs?

Like, what kind of KYC do they require, and what kinds of fees? I've been looking to cash out for some time but I'm not looking to fork over my details or get rekt on fees?

Is there a resource that describes the different kind of ATMs and their fees/KYC checks and such?

What would you do?

(preferably without crashing the Bitcoin market).

 I would burn the coins.  You're welcome.

So they uploaded the same video with "specs" overlayed and turned comments off.

Total scam.  Don't be fooled.

It's not likely that members in the English language section are going to know let alone understand the culture you're speaking of so how can you expect a valid response on the subject.  Maybe post it in the Chinese language section where you might find members immersed in your culture who would be able to advise you.  Also, links or it didn't happen.

I wonder how much lower it is, taking into account some people won't go see the doctor at all.

Typically me, I usually beat any illness with a good night of sleep/some shivers under a blanket.

 You're shivering needlessly.  Your body is trying to warm you up to aid it in fighting the illness which is why you are shivering.  Instead of suffering like that, you could just get in a nice warm bath/shower.  It stops your body from shivering, relaxes your body (and mind), likely reduces any congestion you may be feeling and allows you to then curl up under the blankets and sleep like a baby.  Just don't let your temp go above 40.5°C (105°F) instantaneously or over 39.4 °C (103°F) for a longer than 48 hours.  Also it's best to have help getting in and out of the tub/shower as you may be dizzy.
 

 N.B. I am not a doctor but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last week.

Can anyone confirm in Italy there was a news people infected with a virus and they were not in any contact with other infected people? There are also some news about the cured people who get the virus again.

  IMO they released people from the hospital where they were quarantined too soon in a rush to free up beds for newly infected people needing emergency treatment.  Rather than admit this, they are using the term "reinfected" to save face.  I'm sure healthcare systems worldwide are going to be taxed by this sudden onslaught so it's not surprising.

Romanian TV faking up an 'empty shelves' story. Everything from the shelves is just piled up behind the camera

 Okay, I did some investigating and my initial presumption was correct.  Romanians would not do such a thing - they are honest people. (and easily panicked as they remember too well Ceausescu times when food wasn't rationed and was scarce; the waiting time in line for the basics was hours - people would start lining up at 3am to be sure to get something - some even sending their children to hold a place in line)

 So Antena 3 was the station filming the empty shelving which originally contained flour.  The food in the foreground is some organic shit on tables (ain't nobody on a budget got time fo' dat!) and also some palettes of food yet to be stocked on shelves (described as "prostii" (junk - nobody would stock up on) in the video below.

https://www.cronicipebune.ro/antena-3-nu-goleste-rafturile/

 after the base URL it translates to Antena 3 did not empty the shelves

 You see! I knew Romanians were saintly people.

Do you guys know any good places to spend crypto? Like airplane tickets and hotels?

 I just got an e-mail from coincards.com a day or two ago - you can now purchase hotel.com gift cards up to $2000


Hotel.com you say? Sounds promising. Have you used coincards before?

 I have - quick and painless.  Also Bitrefill.com which I used to top up my Romanian phone before I arrived so that when I landed I would have phone and internet Smiley  Worked like a charm.  They have a pretty good selection of gift cards.  Coincards needs an e-mail address but so far I haven't been asked for any personally identifying information - same with bitrefill.

Even though real demand fell off a cliff quite a few years ago. Americans and much of the world citizens are completely tapped out, from all the personal household debt, student loan debt, and lack of income growth. They can't consume any more stuff. And they are starting to not even desire any more stuff, willing to live and be happy with less.

Yeah, nobody needs a faster computer or better smartphone these days.

Tech companies saw this years ago, and desperately tried to invent new types of products: smart watches, fitness trackers, VR... but nobody needs this shit.

Now they're trying foldable smartphones, ha!

Exactly. Not only that, but as a prerequisite to buying more stuff (e.g., furniture, household accessories, pictures/paintings, collectibles, etc.) you need somewhere to put all that stuff, i.e. a sizeable house like people their age bought back in the early 2000's. But with house prices doubling in just the last 5 years, young and middle-aged people can't even afford a nice/big house any longer. So they settle with a small apartment, where space is limited. Likewise many retirees are downsizing or have already downsized. People have cut waay back on buying more of everything: new clothes, new gadgets, new jewelry, new household items, new cars, etc.

It could literally be another decade or two before people start buying stuff again, but that would be predicated on income growth actually moving up again. Don't see that happening any time soon either.

With such rapid climate changes, it is best to collect money not for a big house, but for a ticket to another planet

 Based on what we currently know, you'd be best to take your chances here with your stash.  There's nothing out there for us - at least not for another 7 billion years or so until the sun torches earth and mars... scientist believe that by then some of the moons of Saturn and Jupiter may be inhabitable.

is anybody so kind and explain or send me the link to the DCA strategy please?

BTW, we should start something where the WO terms are explained to Newbies like me. Roll Eyes

 Dollar cost averaging is simply deciding how much you want to invest and then dividing it into regular contributions over a given period of time.

ie I want to invest $8000 this year into Tesla so I will make biweekly contributions of $307.69.  

 This method is supposed to lower your risk with respect to volatility but imagine doing that with a stock that continues to lose value over time - you're giving away your money.
I think the DCA strategy only works when markets are in an uptrend... but I'm no expert.
