Okay you are correct Uranium, your assertion that the Chinese ban is temporary is not based on wishful thinking, it is instead based on literally nothing at all.

so how do i cash out my 2.13 bitcoins without having to buy drugs or let the app access my browsing history?

into real money? like even bolivars or worse.

Uranium 235 posted:

get verified on an exchange that supports fiat withdrawals (coinbase or gemini if you're in the US, not sure what to use for other countries), verify your bank account with that exchange, transfer the bitcoins to the exchange, then wire or ACH the money to your bank account

the verification takes the longest, but for me, it was less than a week on gemini and less than a day for coinbase.

Prester Jane posted:

The counter is easy here: just post a single bit of mainstream news or analysis that suggests the ban is temporary. Your entire defense here is based on being pedantic over the my usage of the phrase "wishful thinking" to indicate that your assertions are backed by no substance. All you gotta do to prove me wrong is demonstrate that your assertions are based in some sort of substance.

i see, so in order to get money, i have to give them all my account details and creds.

seems on the up and up.

also, the bitcoins were a joke, the 2.13 were mined using a p2733 and a 4200ti geforce in the span of 6ish years?

Its really weird how all the pro-bitcoiners react the exact same way when you press them for specifics to back up their assertions......

Uranium 235 posted:

i'm not even pro-bitcoin. i have no idea if it will be successful long term and don't really care. i do think that blockchain technology will find some measure of success eventually

i like the crypto space from the perspective of a trader because it's an emerging space with a lot of volatility and potential for rapid growth, much like the marijuana sector in the stock market. it's high risk and high reward, and since i'm young, i'm comfortable with using a small part of my investment portfolio to trade it

bitcoin is important in the sense that it dominates the crypto market and the values of so many crypto assets correlate to bitcoin, so i have to pay attention to it. but i trade it somewhat cynically

Not a word of that has anything to do with why you think the Chinese ban is temporary. Its just self fellatio.

Lime Tonics posted:

hmm yes it seems fine to give my bank account number, phone number, name and address to a company based in the Philippines. A bank under us sanctions even.

seems legit to me.

coinbase is based in san francisco and gemini is based in nyc, so not sure what you're talking about

coinbase uses metropolitan commercial bank for segregating their customer's funds and it's definitely not under sanctions

I want to share information about my account in Coinbase, I have more than 700 BTC which I could not pull the funds are there, already more than one month I did not get an answer from the support, all answered by robots each email reply, my account position is currently frozen condition, I could only see the contents of the balance but could not do transactions, I've been thinking if this continues without the news this week, I will report the company's coin base to the FBI, CIA, USA investigation for committing fraud 700 BTC to me.

luv 2 report fraud to the CIA

this copy paste is a very serious and troubling anecdote

thank you for making my point for me

other online merchants that do store credit card info store the hash of your credit card + the site name. which means the credit card company can verify it but no one at the online merchant where you made your purchase can look up your credit card number from a database

Well, that's what is supposed to happen anyway.

i actually can't figure out what your disconnect is there, the best explanation seems to be that your brain is doing a ham sandwitch and cannot distinguish between the idea that some chinese want to evade currency controls, and ALL chinese want to evade currency controls. there's also a little bit of failing to understand that it's about much more than hedging against the value of the yuan but that's an advanced topic compared to "your thirty chinese friends, if they exist, are not a representative sample of all chinese"
