Wow, I mean they ask for everything including photo. I mean do I trust these guys.? They will have all my information stored on file including photo passport in another country but where? So much for anonymity, nothing anonymous about it. What controls re my information?
Is it better to pay with poli? Create separate bank account just for this? Considered trying pulse but have to go via cape to buy them.
But I can see why trading stocks is so subdued these days. Advanced platforms, margin trading etc ,it seems crypto is a serious competitor to stocks and banking system in parallel.
Any tips re security?
Yep …. You have to go through the vetting process.
Lots of problems with undesirables trying to rip people off.
So it’s for you own protection.
Alonso the ATO and other government agencies are now involved through the crypto industry.
Any trader that doesn’t take you through that process can be treated with some deal of suspicion. So be careful.
Very interesting.
I don't need anonymity however I was hearing that that's what one gets with Cryptocurrencies but to me it's less anonymous than cash up to 10k and I would imagine people looking to launder money will get snuffed put. Nothing very crypto about it.
I suppose if I start trading it they probably provide trading statements for ATO.
Much to learn. Am probably late.
Was impressed by platforms. Seems a very mature industry designed as a potential value store rather than a currency.
If you want anonymity you need to go to decentralised exchange like Thorchain, but they’re in their infancy and it’s more swapping cryptos rather than buying with fiat.
No I don't need anonymity but the idea with Cryptocurrencies are that the government can't really shut them down and they can operate in parallel to the system but to my way of thinking the government can absolutely shut them down with control over account holders. I can't see how they can operate outside government supervision with this KYC requirement. Fees and "stamp duties and special taxes etc" can be imposed discouraging or limiting use. Even early holders will now have to expose themselves on fiat conversion .
On the flip side these KYCs etc give the market legitimacy and maturity so it seems they are here to stay. Just would prefer a little less proliferation.
I'm increasingly interested from a trading perspective so I appreciate all the advice on how to set up safely perhaps a small account of a few grand. I missed the boat by not investing in them as a long term asset as it's not really feasible to say purchase BTC putting 130k in hoping for a profit. Not to say it won't appreciate, just wouldn't feel right making a 130k transfer for e.g.
I should've nurtured my instincts buying in a few years ago but I stuck to trading stocks with relatively poor results thinking it right to pursue convention .
Great to see many of you guys having the smarts and fortitude to identify the opportunities in crypto early.
They might be able to shut down certain exchanges but that won’t impact your holdings if you have them kept offline in a hard wallet. I use Binance but if they shut down tomorrow I’d be fine as I only have a couple of things kept on the exchange (due to those coins not having a decent compatible wallet to hold them in)
Also, I would be shocked if the government banned exchanges given CBA has announced customers can buy a few cryptos through their app. They wouldn’t be entering the space on a whim.
That's what I'm feeling that the threshold has been breached and the industry is permanent and legitimate.
If your willing to wait buy cardano and stake in a liquidity pool
You will get a minimum of 12 percent return and cardano will over take Bitcoin in 5 years it's bigger stronger fast and cardano is getting into government record keeping and the school systes
Signing alot of contracts in the last month or two and it's sitting around $2.70 and if you get swyftx account really simple to use
Interesting to hear you say that. I’d be surprised If Cardano is still in the top 10 in 5 years.
They is alot of talk with sundae swap and cardano should happen this month
I just think everything about the project is underwhelming. It’s not overly fast and it’s ecosystem isn’t huge. I think it’s overvalued but I’ve been wrong many times before
