Since I started with crypto I've been looking for a way to convert crypto to fiat in a anonymous or semi-anonymous way but have found about nothing.
I'm not comfortable sending copies of my passport/id to exchanges, but I would be comfortable just giving my name, address, etc like I do when creating a stocks trading account. The only prepaid card I found for the time being is advcash, but they have a limit of 250usd and then you have to verify yourself, besides that I've found no good solution. How do you do? Do you all really send copies of your passport/id to exchanges? wouldn't that go against the spirit of cryptos?
What I have been forced to do in order to keep my anonymity, is to find people who want to purchase computer parts. I take their cash off them, and order their parts with crypto. What's best about this method is anybody trying to find who owns my wallet, will find countless customers of mine, but never myself...
There is always another choice, the problem is identifying the extra choices you have not been informed of...
I will never get an ID...
Bitcoin can and will die if this ID stupidity is not reversed and fast...
This is also a particularly effective method, I admit. In some aspects similar to what I have been advocating myself, but much more ingenious.
Please tell me isn't there risk that those final customers of yours can identify you when authorities are determined enough and persistent enough to ID you and locate you?
That is a very good question, for myself, I am not concerned because everybody knows me as Tricky. It is a possibility though, so maybe I should employ a middleman to collect the cash for me. Somebody who will serve up some random smack addict if any problems were to arise lol.
Anything they can do, we can swerve, you just have to get creative. My mentality is there is such a thing as too much evidence, if I give them 100 targets, the amount of paperwork that will generate will lead to them ignoring any potential case that could arise, which I couldn't imagine ever being reality because I don't actually do anything wrong, if tax dodging was wrong branson would be in jail kinda reasoning.
What I am seeing is a contrived effort to gain contractual acceptance of guberment standing through the registration for guberment issued ID. They are playing dirty trying to force everybody to recognise them and their silly regulations and legislations. For me that is never going to happen, I would sooner check into a nut house and make myself the problem of the tax payer before ever accepting guberment / taxation are justified.
