I haven't gotten any sort of notifications yet, probably because of the fact that my trade volume is still too low for them to consider my account worthwhile to suspend. It seems to have started to happen gradually, over the past few weeks as more and more accounts have been placed into restriction.
The only reason I use LBC right now is because of the fact that it doesn't require identification. If I'm forced into giving away my personal details, I'm definitely going to find somewhere else to trade.
No idea, but I didn't even trade that much over the past 12 months. I believe that my trading volume fell under the 2-5 BTC category, and I'd say that half of it incurred while BTC was still relatively cheap back in the first half of 2017.
I don't think that's that significant by any means, but I doubt that LBC wanted to do this either. Obviously doesn't make sense for them to do this voluntarily, and there had to be some sort of regulatory pressure be put on them.
That's what I was thinking. It makes me wonder if this has been applied everywhere or just in some countries where that pressure is coming from.
It could definitely be possible. The amount of info regarding these new rules released by LBC is next to none (or at least I haven't been looking in the right places). Perhaps it's only a region thing, but everyone seemed to have gotten warnings that had significant trading volume, if not a ban (who is not already verified).
