I wonder how I am supposed to sell bitcoins on an exchange. I have been considering several and have gone through the KYC/AML process for three exchanges. The problem is once I sell my coins they might ask me to prove where I got them from. Keep in mind I am not intending to withdraw the FIAT, I just want to sell high and rebuy lower, and withdraw the coins.
The problem with proving the source of my coins is, how the hell do I do it? I bought them on MtGox and they can't ask MtGox for verification. Even if they did, the coins have gone through several addresses over the years. I can't even trace it back to the MtGox purchase since they went through other exchanges (and got mixed).
So what is one supposed to do here?
Let's minimize the work first. First we startup at those three exchange you are talking about that you do a KYC thing process but still having a problem. Can you named those three exchanges?
As far as my own idea is concerned, the one who are strict to the source of the coin is the local exchange that legitimately operating in a certain country. But they are not putting that in a so much research since there it's hassle to do some deep research about where the coins came from.
Yes you need to do specific thing to sell your exchanges properly without problem. You will need to know your costumer to have a background on selling because it is a part of trading. Decision making is a must. Just think on the thing you will need to consider as people out there want easy money and like to deceive people on value. So if we are going to sell bitcoin is better to have an experienced and always transact on the people you trusted as much you trust you exchange.
