It seems like everywhere is asking for my ID multiple times and there are multiple international companies involved.
I thought the whole point of blockchain was decentralised so why can’t I just buy btc without jumping through a thousand hoops?!?
I tried using bisq but it seems more geared towards traders and you need btc to buy btc :(
any help would be appreciated.
I understand that but the fact I need to verify my identity to purchase something that is meant to be decentralised seems counter intuitive, no?
No. It’s neither anonymous nor decentralized. If you buy Bitcoin, you’re interacting with one central Bitcoin blockchain, with identifiable wallets.
One blockchain that has no master node aka decentralised
I don’t know if you understand how the blockchain works
