Topic: My presentation - page 2. (Read 235 times)

Welcome to bitcointalk platform. From the looks, you have already been updated of some vital information which you would need for a start but however, I would also advise you to take the security and safety of your assets very seriously because the rate of scams and hacks are getting too high.

Most times, newbies are their targets and should be careful with links sent to you via email, social media handles, text etc. do not click links you have no idea or knowledge about. If you do not know the sender or expecting any link from anybody, immediately delete it  as there is every possibility that the link contains bugs which would be it used for phishing your details to steal from you.

Never keep your assets with any third party exchange because doing such does not guarantee the safety of your assets. If the exchange can state it clearly on their terms and conditions of service to not be able to guarantee you 100% assets safety, what do you expect. Lately big exchanges have suffered hack and that alone should be an eye opener that third parties can not be trusted to hold funds so in that case, keep your assets in your own self custodial wallet for your safety.

 Keep your keys and seed phrase where you alone can access. Do not store them in google cloud but rather, it would be nice you write them down on a sheet of paper or note book which you alone  could see.
Remember the slogan " Not your keys, Not your coin".

The reply above mine already answered your question but I will add that you should be careful because the forum is not a scam free platform. Some people will probably message you seeing how eager you are to buy bitcoin, they will try to use the opportunity to scam you. I'm not saying everyone that message you is a scammer but whatever happens please make sure you buy through escrow if you are to buy from anyone in this forum.


Doing personal research is very necessary and this forum is also a tool for research thou you can not rely on everything here just like in other research platforms as they are people's opinion based on their own experience. What Mk posted is just a link with additional information that might be helpful to the Op and the readers in general. I understand your point too because some newbies think everything end here without additional research.

P2p dealing with sepa bank is possible with wire transfers but surely there will be no one interested dealing with a credit card. You can make your own thread on Currency exchange. Make sure to follow the board's rules that can be seen as stickied in that board.

I don't know if you can purchase through your sepa bank. But you can purchase bitcoin from this forum. I think the below answer will help you.

I would like to say thank to you everyone that took their time to answer my questions it really helped me to understand more of how these things works.
But one more question can i buy bitcoin here on the forum with my sepa bank account or credit card? or is that not safe maybe? i ask because here i dont see any KYC

At least in some jurisdictions (mine included) you are not the one required by law to submit it: it is them (centralised exchanges, banks...) who are required to ask it to you under the risk of having to face high fines from the regulator in case they don't. Although the effect is almost the same in practice, it means that if a centralised service doesn't ask you to submit AML/KYC you probably won't have any legal problems if you use it.

You're required by law to submit AML/KYC if you're using a big centralized exchange or literally any finance-related platform(even banks, as you probably know); this applies to like probably 95% of countries globally.

If you're not a fan of AML/KYC, go with peer-to-peer exchanges like Bisq and HodlHodl.

Binance is a centralized exchange and will certainly ask their users to do KYC. If you’re not comfortable with giving out your personal information, you can use a decentralized exchange like bisq. You can read their Ann thread for a guide on how it works.

thank for information but do i must use KYC and driver license to buy bitcoin? sorry if it sounds stupid but I am totally fresh and am afraid to get scammed. I know binance but they say  I must do KYC and it seems a bit sketzy?

There is a sticky thread on this board which contains all the threads that are useful to newbies like, forum rules and how to understand profile information. Try to read the sticky threads on different boards to understand what is allowed there and what is not. Use the search option effectively too.

I never said OP or anyone should rely on the provided links alone lol. It's just a list of content with the basics that people will need when they don't know where to start.

God forbid if I need to add a disclaimer "but of course do your own research and look elsewhere for other content and yea be active so you're updated!" every time I post links.

Don't get anything twisted, your preferable links are understandable but for clarity, thorough research should be triggered. The above mentioned criteria will play major roles in guiding OP but that shouldn't mean he will relent and depend on them, rather grabbed the basis and also surf for himself some crucial information to keep himself updated. We know the space is broad but there's numerous sectors to get acquainted to and survive for important winnings.

Use whatever local platform you have in your country that has a good public reputation. Generally though, I personally use Binance P2P.
