Where did you buy your Bitcoin? Does your bank explicitly forbid making transactions with crypto businesses? I'm surprised if your bank triggered their KYC/AML process for $5. Since any amount is fine have you tried a faucet to get your Bitcoin?

I used River to buy my BTC as it was recommended by my professor. Swan kept giving me errors and so did Strike. To my knowledge, my bank doesn't forbid it. Out of curiosity, what's a faucet? It wasn't discussed in class. Thank you for your reply!

My college is requiring us to set up a blockstream jade & fund it and take a screenshot of the account. We need to have literally any amount of bitcoin in there. I "bought" $5 worth.

This is a hardware bitcoin wallet right? I wonder why students must have need to provide this? Also what is the subject of your class the needed of a hardware plus there should be a fund on it with a minimum of $5 btc. Sounds weird but it is.

Its quite hard to set a p2p in here due to your account is quite new and maybe no one wants to trade because kf that.

Also whats this $1300 you mean you spend?

People might be hesitant to do a trade with a newbie account. You should also be cautious of people that might try to scam you because you are new to the forum. There are also several ways to buy Bitcoin with payment methods that don’t require authorization from your bank. You can buy Azte.co bitcoin vouchers with many different payment methods or you can sell a gift card on a P2P marketplace.

Is there a chance that your collage required "TestNet" bitcoins instead?
Because it's weird that they're requiring their students to purchase or acquire real bitcoins for academic/testing purposes.

If it's actually bitcoins and it's real urgent:
You may form a group and purchase a slightly larger amount (e.g. $50, $5 each, 10students) from this forum's "Currency Exchange" board.
Or see if you can purchase $5 equivalent amount from them.

But make absolutely sure that the person you're dealing with has a valid positive Trust rating.

Hi all,

My college is requiring us to set up a blockstream jade & fund it and take a screenshot of the account. We need to have literally any amount of bitcoin in there. I "bought" $5 worth.

My problem occurs with my banking institution - they are putting a long hold on it (2 weeks) and the assignment is due within the next 6 days!

So - would you all assume I'm SOL? Is there a way I could pay an individual here to receive an equivalent amount of BTC in my wallet? This was an expensive class for me ($1300) and I'm terrified I'm going to get docked a letter grade because I wasn't aware my institution was going to put such a long hold.

Any advice you may have is welcome!
