Yeah, I agree with keeping it simple. If you’re just flipping coins for short-term gains, 20 might be okay. But for long-term, having too many coins complicates things.

A lot of big platforms switched to mandatory KYC already. No surprise if Seychelles follows suit. Curious how strict it’s going to be though.

Watch out for who you choose as a mentor. Lots of scammers pretending to teach you. They’ll lure you into bad trades or point you to a shady exchange.

The boring part of trading is learning to deal with that anticipation. It’s not just about reading charts. Risk management is key.

Right, but come on, 2026 and there are still wallets without message signing? I can’t believe it. If that’s the case, ditch them.

There’s a competition going on right now for swaps. Could win some extra cash if you enter! I prefer P2P swaps though, usually lower fees.

You might wanna try perpmate.com to swap BTC. No KYC and it’s on-chain.

I go for reputation, but also if the exchange fits my needs. There’s no perfect platform. I weigh the pros and cons to narrow down my choices.

Even free signals might get a side-eye. Folks worry about hidden fees down the line or if it’ll turn into a pump and dump. Too much shady stuff has happened.

I'm fine with the current drop. It’s all part of BTC's nature. I just plan to hold tight and keep buying when it dips.

Out of curiosity, which platforms did you try? Maybe they accept US users, but just no available offers. No-KYC P2P often lacks liquidity, sadly. Retoswap is known globally, but I'm not very familiar with it. Bisq and…

Check out that list I found. A lot of options there. Look into no-KYC P2P platforms. Like, robosats is one of them that might pique your interest.

I’m not sure about that trillion-dollar volume claim. If you mix derivatives into the CEX numbers, sure. But DEXs still have billions, so it's not all bad.

Sounds about right but be careful. Make sure you check all the contact info there have been cases where FTX users had their personal info leaked leading to phishing scams. If anything seems fishy, just hit up support.

Which exchange are you talking about? I’ve only seen this at regulated sites, and the OP hasn’t clarified anything. More info is needed, folks!

Not so fast, man. OKX’s p2p market isn't available for US users. Regulations are tough, and I can't think of any other central exchanges allowing US users. Best bet is a privacy-focused p2p.

Give agoradesk.com a shot. They're in the USA and I didn’t see any restrictions for you guys. Plus, it's p2p and focuses on privacy, so no KYC stuff.

I like USDT best because it’s super liquid and fits well with BTC exchanges. But I wouldn’t hold stablecoins long-term.

No exact guess here, but I don't think it'll drop as low as before. Bitcoin seems to be stabilizing a bit. DCAing? Just do it whenever. People do it to avoid the hassle of charts and just focus on accumulating over…

Totally echoing what you said. Scam exchanges are everywhere. I’m careful about picking exchanges nowadays.
