I’m looking for a reputable escrow service to sell some BTC during this bull run. I’d like to receive the fiat in a UK bank account. I’ve already contacted a few well-known escrow providers mentioned in other threads, but they informed me they don’t handle currency exchange. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
They don't agree because it's related to fiat currency. There might be some issues later, and escrows would have a problem. As some other users already said about potential risk, you have to consider it before choosing to exchange your funds. I would advise you to use some reputable instant exchanges that work on fiat. Most probably they will not send your dirty funds since this is their business, but you must verify whether they are well reputed or not. Second option: you may use crypto cards. You can withdraw directly from the ATM. Because when I am abroad, I have been using crypto cards to withdraw money from the ATM. I don't use my credit cards usually for withdrawal. If this is suitable for you, then consider this. I have been using Redotpay, and it's been working well. You may choose some others if you find them reputable. Thanks for your reply. A crypto card might be an option, but as I mentioned, from 2026 all crypto exchanges will be required to report every transaction to HMRC, so it’s likely that crypto card transactions will also be reported. I have no issue with paying taxes in general; I already contribute a substantial amount through my income tax and other obligations. However, I do not want to pay Capital Gains Tax on cryptocurrencies. I believe CGT on cryptocurrencies is fundamentally unfair — essentially legalised robbery. The government offers no compensation when cryptocurrency prices crash and we incur substantial losses, yet they still demand a share of any profits when prices rise, despite the extreme volatility, long-term holding, and significant risks involved. Because of this, I want to explore every possible method to avoid paying CGT on my cryptocurrency holdings. This is just my personal opinion and preference — there’s no need for anyone to agree with it or argue against it  |

Thanks, everyone, for your replies. Some of you asked whether my reason is to avoid paying tax — and yes, that’s correct. I have no issue with paying taxes in general; I already contribute a substantial amount through my income tax and other obligations. However, I do not want to pay Capital Gains Tax on cryptocurrencies. I believe CGT is fundamentally unfair — essentially legalised robbery. The government offers no compensation when cryptocurrency prices crash and we incur substantial losses, yet they still demand a share of any profits when prices rise, despite the extreme volatility, long-term holding, and significant risks involved. Because of this, I want to explore every possible method to avoid paying CGT on my cryptocurrency holdings. This is my personal opinion and preference — no one has to agree with it or try to disprove it.  |

So, my only options are to use a centralised exchange or P2P? I’d prefer not to use a centralised exchange, as from next year all exchanges in the UK will be required to share each and every transaction details with HMRC. You want to use a UK bank account, so it's safe to assume your bank already shares whatever HMRC wants. There is no privacy when using banks. However, P2P also carries the same escrow-related risks you mentioned. What other options do I have? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. The safest option would be to just pay your taxes so you can legally use your fiat money. Currently, banks are not required to share information with HMRC unless specifically requested. However, starting in 2026, all cryptocurrency exchanges will be required to report every transaction. Paying taxes is not an issue — I already pay a substantial amount for income etc. — but I strongly disagree with paying Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on cryptocurrency. I believe CGT is fundamentally unfair — essentially legalised robbery. The government offers no compensation when cryptocurrency prices crash and we incur substantial losses, yet they still demand a share of any profits when prices rise, despite the extreme volatility, long-term holding, and significant risks involved. Because of this, I want to explore every possible method to avoid paying CGT on cryptocurrency. |

Standard Chartered’s 2028 Prediction
Ethereum (#ETH):
2025 — $7,500
2026 — $12,000
2027 — $18,000
2028 — $25,000
Growth drivers: institutional buying, stablecoin market hitting $2T by 2028, US regulatory clarity, L1 scaling on Ethereum, DeFi & L2 expansion, and ETH positioning as infrastructure for traditional finance.
Bitcoin (#BTC):
2025 — $200K
2026 — $300K
2027 — $400K
2028 — $500K
So… is this the roadmap to the moon or just another bank fairy tale for you?
Well, the end result in 2028 might be possible, but the chart shows significant increases each year in the meantime, which doesn’t seem very realistic. Are they assuming the 4-year cycle is gone and there won’t be any more bear markets? That doesn’t sound right. Most analysts predict a bear cycle from 2026 to 2028. But hey, it’s crypto — it always surprises everyone. |

Hi friends, I’m planning to take some profits during this bull run and convert some crypto to fiat into UK bank account. Previously, I used centralized exchanges, but I’d prefer not to this time since, from 2026, all UK exchanges will be required to report every transaction to HMRC. I’ve tried looking for escrow services but haven’t found any suitable for selling crypto to fiat for a UK bank account. I’m wondering what the best option would be. Is P2P the way to go? If so, which platforms are the safest, and what measures can I take to ensure that the cash received in my bank is legitimate and can’t be reversed or charged back? Thanks. |

The only safe (for you) way for an escrow to do this, is by receiving GBP on his own bank account, then waiting for the Bitcoin transaction to be confirmed, and finally forwarding the GBP to the buyer. BUT: this can go wrong in so many ways. The money could come from a hacked bank account, which makes the escrow liable. This is not possible without risks for at least one of the involved parties. Thanks for your reply. So, my only options are to use a centralised exchange or P2P? I’d prefer not to use a centralised exchange, as from next year all exchanges in the UK will be required to share each and every transaction details with HMRC.

Bitcoin will soon reach $110,000 and currently the price of Bitcoin has reached 107,500 and this makes 2 of my friends very happy.
I have two close friends who used to be my music friends or band friends, and now we rarely meet because they are busy working as Pilots and the other one because he works out of town. And we met on November 18th at a place we often visited at that time, and we chatted a lot while asking about our activities and I told them that I was involved or invested in Bitcoin, they knew about crypto especially Bitcoin but didn't know the details and its functions.
And they seemed curious to know more and finally I gave a basic explanation along with the benefits that I had gotten and also the real results that I had gotten finally my two friends were interested and I immediately and at that time also made a wallet and so on for my two friends who are still communicating until now, moreover my two friends are smart and immediately understand and can also operate it finally they bought Bitcoin on the night of November 18th and I don't know how much they bought if I'm not mistaken around $90,000+.
And earlier my two friends contacted me when the price of Bitcoin reached $107,500 and they were very happy and I was happy to see my two old friends happy because they had made a profit of 18% to 19% from the price they bought on that date and I forgot how much it was at that time.
And I continue to motivate them to continue holding or if they want to continue buying periodically because I guarantee that in 2024 the price of Bitcoin will reach $150,000-$180,000.
And I want to know your response, because I also don't want to interfere in their affairs after getting involved with Bitcoin even though it's because of me. But I'm sure they also have intelligence, understanding and also have the ability to grow in this industry and we also always communicate even though I sometimes ignore and divert the conversation because I don't want to feel dizzy.
It's great to see you and your friends happy! However, I’d suggest avoiding specific dates when predicting a Bitcoin target price. Bitcoin has a way of surprising and shocking everyone. Instead, you could say, "Bitcoin will definitely reach $150k if you HODL," but avoid attaching a timeframe. There’s no guarantee, and no analyst can promise certainty. It’s also possible that BTC could drop below $100k by the end of the year. If that happens, your friends—especially if they’ve invested at $90k and are still new to Bitcoin’s movements—might feel disappointed or upset. Good luck, and let’s enjoy the ride! |

Hello everyone! I apologize for changing the subject, but my name is Jake, I’m 14 years old, and I have two dreams – to save up for a PS5 and, in the future, to gift my mom a big house. I know the road ahead will be long, but I’m ready to work hard and put in all my efforts!
Right now, I help my mom at home while learning skills in Figma and Photoshop. I’ve been teaching myself through YouTube, so I’m not a professional yet, but I’m willing to help with simple design tasks.
To achieve my goal, I’m ready to do work for even $1 or even for free if anyone needs it! If you have small jobs related to Figma or Photoshop, I’d be happy to assist and gain some experience.
I recently opened a Bitcoin wallet to save the money I earn. I figured it out with the help of guides and videos. With each job, I get a step closer to my dream.
Thank you all for your attention and support, and if there’s any way I can help with your projects, I’d be grateful for the chance!
Welcome to the forum, young man! Wishing you all the best for your future. You have excellent plans in place, and I hope you achieve great success. |

Yeah, there are a couple of privacy respecting p2p exchanges out there, see: https://kycnot.me/?t=exchange&q=&fiat=onBut don't expect the prices to be competitive like those in centralized/custodial exchanges. I say, consider it a pay for the extra privacy. Thank you for your response. Have you personally used any of these services? Are they completely secure? Does the money transfer directly from the sender's bank account to my bank account? Regards, |

Hello Friends, I'm thinking of capitalizing on this bull run and taking some profit. Does anyone have suggestions for cashing out crypto without going through KYC? It would be ideal if I could transfer the fiat to my bank account or onto a card. Or is there any other way? Thanks in advance for any advice! |

Your comment gives the impression that you're suggesting I have a connection to or benefit from the mentioned site. However, I merely inquired about its legitimacy. I never claimed it to be legitimate. I mentioned 'Yahoo Finance' as a reference point, prompting me to seek insights from this forum. As I fully trust replies of users in this forum.
Your post gave that impression. We regularly see similar situations with brand new accounts or those returning after a long period of inactivity, like in your case, leading us to believe they might be alt accounts used for this specific purpose. They pretend to ask legitimate questions about scam sites with the obvious goal of actually promoting the site. EDIT: The last time you used this account was to post this fake news: ***BREAKING *** Bitcoin ETF is approvedThat was over two years ago! Well, I guess you could say your announcement was just "a little" premature. Receiving 'Account related' advice from an account holder two years younger than mine is surprisingly odd. What a strange world we live in! Unlike some, I don't post solely for the sake of pursuing the so-called 'Legendary' status; I prefer to post only when it's truly necessary. |

Indeed! It does sound too good to be true, doesn't it? I came across 'Bitgamo' being mentioned on 'Yahoo Finance,' which made me consider its legitimacy. Hence, I decided to inquire within this forum for any insights or experiences.
Be realistic, bro. What's Yahoo? Is everything published on Yahoo legitimate? Thousands of scam sites do press releases on Yahoo every day. It does cost a little bit. I can publish any article on Yahoo as well. Doesn't mean it's legit. Don't be a fool, bro, or don't try to make us fools. This isn't the right way to ask questions when it's a clear scam site.

Greetings, friends! Has anyone had experience with the platform called 'Bitgamo'? https://bitgamo.com/ They claim to provide the option for cashing out BTC without requiring KYC, and the funds are directly transferred to your bank account. Additionally, there's an option to receive funds from a foreign bank if your local bank or country is not crypto-friendly. It seems almost too good to be true. If nobody has used this platform, could you recommend a legitimate alternative that offers similar services to 'Bitgamo'? Thanks in advance for your input! |

You can ask Google about it...
I did a quick search and I found some few wallets that supports or starts with CROs and google suggested the following;
Trust Wallet.
MetaMask.
Ledger.
imToken.
Crypto.com.
Torus.
Coinbase.
TokenPocket.
This wallets starts with cro and you can try any of them to move your tokens/coins to a safe place. But the problem is that most of them are mobile wallets which you don't need right? but few have stand alone version on desktop but as I said before you can DYOR and find the most reliable for your personal use.
A little closer analysis of the problem the OP is having here shows that all the wallets you have passed here will not withdraw the CRO token provided by the OP. Because OP said here Cronus (CRO) address must start with CRO. But I searched the trust wallet and found Cronus (CRO) address starting with 0×. Here I can say trust wallet will never solve the problem for OP and if OP transfers token then token will not come to trust wallet token will be totally lost. I have only analyzed the trust wallet and have not analyzed the rest of the wallets but I will analyze and report periodically. Dear friends,
"The addresses that you have been providing are valid for the Cronos mainnet and are compatible with Ethereum. However, Bittrex only supports Native Cronos Chain; therefore, the address you provide must be valid for this chain and its address format should start with "cro". "
Could you please recommend a non-mobile wallet that starts with "cro"?
Many Thanks.
Thanks a lot for responding. It's quite simplistic to suggest "GIYF," as mentioned by the previous respondent, without considering whether I had already conducted a Google search before reaching out here. Please let me know if you find any non-mobile wallet which address starts with "cro" Thanks again. |

Dear friends,
I trust everyone is in good health. I held some CRO on Bittrex, but given that Bittrex Global is no longer operational, I must transfer my CRO to another wallet. Unfortunately, when attempting to move the funds to my Exodus wallet, I encountered compatibility issues with Bittrex's wallet requirements. The bitttrex support team mentioned this : "The addresses that you have been providing are valid for the Cronos mainnet and are compatible with Ethereum. However, Bittrex only supports Native Cronos Chain; therefore, the address you provide must be valid for this chain and its address format should start with "cro". "
Could you please recommend a non-mobile wallet that starts with "cro"?
Many Thanks.
