You are making good money but you need to very careful with your banks though you are doing face to face transaction but when you are buying with coinbase you need to provide your credit/debit card deatils,so your banks will trace all the transaction. I hope please be careful with all those.
I use a bank that has pretty lenient policies in regards to bitcoin. They are aware that I invest into bitcoin and I buy/sell coins frequently. I've easily moved $30-50K from my bank to my coinbase account and vice versa in less than a year. It hasn't been an issue and that's how I earned the high limits with coinbase. It's not like I deposit $10K+ in cash per day to my bank account, and I don't plan to do anywhere near that, even if I start trading on localbitcoin. I also earn commission from my work, so it's not unusual for me to deposit cash into my bank account frequently.
create a bitcoin wallet, generate an address, send bitcoins from coinbase to that address and then transfer them to localbitcoins.
this may not be the perfect solution and you should use it at your own risk, but it creates deniability because you are not directly transferring bitcoin to localbitcoins, and that address you withdraw coins to can be from anyone who you are paying bitcoin to for example.
This just seems too simple. I already use additional wallets because I don't trust my bitcoin on any exchange after what happened with Mt Gox years ago. Right after I get the bitcoin from coinbase, I immediately transfer them to another wallet. I just feel like there's not enough deniability still because the bitcoin path can easily be traced through blockchain analysis, especially for a big company like coinbase. If I simply buy coins on coinbase, then transfer them to another wallet, then to localbitcoins and I repeat this process frequently I'm sure they can establish a pattern. I don't want to loose my coinbase account or run into any issues with them because it took me a while to earn the high limits on there and if I didn't have the high limits, this opportunity wouldn't be possible.
might be a good solution, for the wallet address you can use market exchanges, then you can trade with altcoins to earn more bitcoin, then after you have profit, then you can send it into localbitcoins and sell in there. i think in market exchanges, there is some exchanges that allow us to generates more wallet address and we can use it when we want to transferred it into localbitcoins. and if you know with coinbase disadvantage, then i suggest you to stay away from coinbase and use another third party service.
This is more along the lines of what I was thinking, but coinbase doesn't want you sending the coins to another exchange either. This is why I was thinking: Buy the bitcoin on coinbase, transfer to another wallet, then transfer to another exchange and swap the bitcoin for altcoin, then back to bitcoin. The issue that I have here is that I don't have any experience with other cryptocurrencies.
- What is a good exchange that I can use to trade between bitcoin and altcoins?
- What altcoin should I trade for? Monero? Ethereum?
- How long does the whole process take? I would need it to be relatively quick to mitigate any losses that might arise from fluctuating prices of altcoins.
I don't know enough about altcoins to try and earn money from the fluctuations there, maybe in the future as I get more experience. My goal here is to instantly replenish the coins that I trade on localbitcoin, which I can easily do through coinbase. I already hold XX amount of coins regardless, so if I buy back whatever I trade on localbitcoin right away, it's as if I traded the brand new coins rather than risk selling bitcoins out of my wallet for a 10% premium when the price of coin could rise >10%.
