Buying Property With Crypto (Bitcoin)
by
Blockrocks
on 18/04/2022, 09:06:38 UTC
Are you able to buy a property with Bitcoin yet?

Im mainly looking to buy in Asia, Thailand, and Vietnam region.

Can I buy directly with a Bitcoin transaction or would this need to be converted into FIAT at some point?

There are real estate websites for buying property in Crypto but Im not sure how they facilitate that.

Perhaps they take the BTC then send the fiat themself and act as an escrow.

Would love the Bitcoin Talk opinions on this.

Re: P2P Crypto Trading - Which Platform Do You Use & Why?

I use Binance because it's more recognized and reliable.

Also, I'd like to know why you choose to use P2P rather than exchanges etc.

My country government directed all the banks to stop processing any transactions related to crypto, so P2P seem to be the only way out for me ever since. Though there might be other alternatives, P2P is the only one I know and fend to.

Binance is still pretty tough on KYC, right? P2P is a great alternative if your country is stopping bank payments. Try https://Cryptolocally.com has fewer KYC requirements and IMO is safer than all other P2P as it's decentralised so you don't transfer your fund to the platform first! I have had a few people I know get account frozen due to these big exchanges and centralised p2p companies putting in place countries restrictions.

Which P2P crypto trading platform do you use and why? I'd love to know about the ones you have used and your experiences with them.

Also, I'd like to know why you choose to use P2P rather than exchanges etc.

Thanks in advance everyone.  Grin
LBC and Paxful are the mostly used p2p but now Binance p2p and other exchanges also p2p trading but they are not really p2p because the funds will be credited to yoir exchange then only you can move it to wallets. But all those p2p are having mandatory KYC requirements.

Localcryptos, Bisq and HodlHold are some of the real p2p exchanges but with less volume and offers.

https://cryptplocally.com has light kyc only a mobile number and email to get started.

Binance P2P services is good, but not until when there are some P2P buyers and seller who requires additional Know Your Customer (KYC) process before you get to execute the trade. I just don't know if other countries do this as well.

Try https://cryptolocally.com less KYC is needed.

Peer to peer trade is risky and something you have to note for your trades.

- Scammers tend to create offers that are too good to be true. Who don't want to have as much profit as possible? But please remember that "too good to be true" offers are likely from scammers and very new accounts.
- You must be double or tripple careful when you consider a trade with new account
- Don't release your crypto before you receive payment transaction from your trade partner. Crypto transaction is irreversible, so if you release your coin, you lose it
- To avoid scammers who do money laundering, avoid trade partners who only or mostly have trades in bank transfers, credit cards. Only buy, not sell or mostly buy and very little sell.

This is true. You have got to be careful and the advice is to never release the escrow until you have received the payment in full. That's why I like using Cryptolocally for p2p. the escrow part is a smart contract and automatically recognises when it's been transferred. Then you pay and boom, they release the escrow. any disputes are handled well by the team from what I have seen in Telegram.

Have any of you had any experiences with Cryptolocally P2P? https://cryptolocally.com

This is the first time I've seen that one. And while it seems to be a legitimate exchange, you know what they say about the lesser known exchanges— it's better to take the extra precautions and use the well-known and reputable ones instead.

You can say that and good guidelines but first to market is normally the biggest until tech changes. Cryptolocally may be less known but it's the safest by far I believe. Smart contract escrows to protect your trade, plus it's non-custodial. The thing I dislike about the other exchanges is that you have to transfer money to the platform each time first. With Cryptolocally you just used your own wallet.

This is an old post from 2013. Who is still doing in-person cash transactions and how are you doing them? I have not done an in-person Bitcoin transaction before but I have P2P using Cryptolocally. They also offer a non-custodial escrow service for cash in person. Id be interested to know how you conduct in-person cash transferss now  Cheesy

Manual Trading IS DEAD! I found Yanda.io and you don't pay unless you profit...
by
Blockrocks
on 28/08/2019, 14:02:50 UTC
Let's face it; we have all thought at one time or another that auto trading (bot trading) was a scam at some point, right?

I was always trading manually, FOREX, Shares, CFD and then moved on to crypto a couple of years back on the big crypto hype, and guess what... I always, always, always seemed to lose money in the end! It used to get to me! Why am I not a good trader? I know the strategies, I know how to use the system, and I know roughly how markets will react to certain news coming out. Yet, I still lost money in the long run.

I put it down to 4 things, and they all have to do with FEAR! 🤷‍♂️

Fear of Trading!

● The Fear of Profits Becoming Losses
● "FOMO" - fear of missing out (this can be missing a trade or missing on more profits)
● The Fear of Mistakes
● The Fear of Being Wrong

These FEARS are what I believed stopped me from making profits... and it's true! Time and time again I saw profits turn in loses because I held on too long, or I saw the market explode and jumped in too late, or didn't make a trade because I wasn't 100% sure if I was doing the right thing. Honestly, it sucked!

I gave up trading for about six months ago. I needed a break. I needed to learn how to control my fears and become a better trader.

I then randomly met the CEO of a company called Yanda.io. They have created an automated trading company where you can connect to your crypto exchange and create trading strategies. All you need to do is connect you API's with no withdrawal access and your good to go, and you don't need to code, which is a massive plus for me as I don't know-how. Smiley

Sceptical? I was, but after seeing it work first hand, I stuck £500 in to test it out, and I connected Yanda to my Coinbase-Pro trading account.

My first strategy took less than a minute to set up, and I was in profit within minutes. Now, after three weeks, I'm 15.49% up! BOOOOM🧨💥

Yanda is also proud to say that they have a 97% strategy success rate. That means that 97% of all their traders have made profits on the strategies they create. Not too bad right? Also, you DON'T pay Yanda anything unless your strategy profits. Tell me another company that offers that! https://yanda.io

Anyway, I just wanted to share a little of my story and invite you to watch Yandas, latest webinar on YouTube where you can learn more about the company and how to create a trading strategy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogMV_EWusX0

This is NOT an affiliate link... You can create a Yanda account here and get $10 free in Yanda trading credit to test it out for free. https://yanda.io
