Hello, I want to buy bitcoin, how can I be sure that they were not used for any shady business? If I buy directly from a person, what is the chance that I will have problems later? Do I only have to buy from exchanges?
Please, forgive my ignorance.
Hi!
It's funny because it does what you should do. If you have questions, ask questions or seek information. So there is nothing to excuse.
The really stupid question is the one asked later.
Then use common sense, the amounts define crime in many countries, in some with only $ 20 you are already in trouble you can even die.
So unless he are a friend, (-/if the amount is really important reject it/-) make the transaction, but remember only you are the true one responsible for your actions.
Go to an exchange and buy with your credit card or go P2P and use local transfers or the different payment channels that exist to acquire the bitcoin asset, is the best way when you start .
Finally for everything else, there is the forum search engine and the comments that are added to this Topic.
