I suffered a lot just trying to purchase bitcoin
In local market people are asking 20% fee
The exchanges works mainly in US and Europe
But for the rest of the world there is nothing
I did register in bitstamp and more than 2 weeks to verify my account
Coin Mamma ask you to take selfy with your ID and write down the date just like criminal
The basic idea of bitcoin is to get rid of man in the middle (Banks) and make our own money
But WHY no one take the initiative to provide Bitcoin for the public without this ridiculous verification process
Here is the sample after you sumbit your ID and all required documents
1. What is your current occupation?
2. What is the source of the funds you will be depositing to your Bitstamp account? Please provide any financial documentation which can confirm how the funds that you will be depositing to your Bitstamp account were acquired (salary slip, savings account statement or any other relevant document).
3. What is the purpose of your trading on Bitstamp? Please describe in as much detail as possible how you intend to use your trading account.
4. Which banks do you intend to use? Please provide the complete addresses and SWIFT codes.
5. Estimated amount that you would be depositing/withdrawing to/from your Bitstamp account per year (in USD and BTC)?
6. What type of trading will you conduct? Buying/selling/both? Estimated trade volume per month?
7. What are your future plans and activities planned on our exchange?
8. Do you intend to use your Bitstamp account in connection to any business activity? If yes, how?
So we manage to remove the bank and put the exchange in the middle
I wish if we could get rid of all exchanges and agree on a fair flat rate 1% or less for BTC transaction
Mining is the second option but it is difficult to make 1 BTC from mining in a day
