RE: LocalBitcoins.com Now Forcing Users to Verify Identification to Trade at All
Yeah I logged on the other day and noticed the search category for no ID required is gone. A few vendors still have no ID required in their listings but still want a phone number.
I'm seriously not happy.
I didn't even know there was search category for that! The site changed fast. Or maybe you mean sellers that required verification to buyers which is separate from the site itself requiring anything until lately
thanks for your comment
I've only been on there for a while but I was doing a search for "no ID required" and just selecting sellers from that search & now it's gone. Now I have to open each listing and read all the terms to see how much info they want me to divulge.
I just don't feel comfortable giving my ID to a site like that. Now it seems like they are in bed with the banksters/feds and want to know everything that's going through their system so they can track everything.
you shouldn't feel comfortable :)
Regulation is coming, and it is coming worldwide. To me the senate hearing showed the oposuite of what most people got out of it.
While the hearing could have been a lot worse, I’m afraid that we may be duped. A televised hearing is an opportunity for politicians to show off their skills and “wise demeanor”. These people are actors and can play to the audience. Their true face comes out behind closed doors, far from millions of eyes that can see their deviousness.
Make no mistake, the true mandate of the SEC is to serve Wall Street, not main street. Their very existence is based on legitimizing ways for their masters to fleece the little guy. (Think High Frequency Trading).
Keep a keen eye on what they do, not what they say.
These are the foxes telling the kitchens they are here to help.
The good news is that clearly they don’t have a handle on the crypto space and don’t yet know how to intervene.
great point. In front of Live TV they need to act to maintain their image/reputation/please everyone
You should write full articles if you don't already. let me know
