Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet: a distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without any central authority whatsoever: there is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. With Bitcoin, you can be your own bank.

Community guidelines

  • Do not use URL shortening services: always submit the real link.
  • Begging/asking for bitcoins is absolutely not allowed, no matter how badly you need the bitcoins. Only requests for donations to large, recognized charities are allowed, and only if there is good reason to believe that the person accepting bitcoins on behalf of the charity is trustworthy.
  • News articles that do not contain the word "Bitcoin" are usually off-topic. This subreddit is not about general financial news.
  • Submissions that are mostly about some other cryptocurrency belong elsewhere. This subreddit is exclusive to Bitcoin.
  • Promotion of client software which attempts to alter the Bitcoin protocol without overwhelming consensus is not permitted.
  • No referral links in submissions.
  • No compilations of free Bitcoin sites.
  • Trades should usually not be advertised here. For example, submissions like "Buying 0.2 BTC" or "Selling my computer for bitcoins" do not belong here. /r/Bitcoin is primarily for news and discussion.
  • Please avoid repetition — /r/bitcoin is a subreddit devoted to new information and discussion about Bitcoin and its ecosystem. New merchants are welcome to announce their services for Bitcoin, but after those have been announced they are no longer news and should not be re-posted. Aside from new merchant announcements, those interested in advertising to our audience should consider Reddit's self-serve advertising system.
  • Do not post your Bitcoin address unless someone explicitly asks you to.
  • Be aware that X, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc. are full of impersonation.

anonymous crypto exchange

is there a fully anonymous crypto exchange i can transfer some of my btc to from my wallet?

i want to try to make some money on these price changes, but i don’t feel like sharing tons of private info with popular exchanges. i need something that’ll allow me to deposit and withdraw $1000-5000 in btc without any identity verification back to my cropto wallet

What app lets you withdraw funds the fastest? I’m using coinbase and I can’t wait 1-3 days to withdraw to my bank.

Cashapp was the best for me as I could instantly withdraw funds to my debit card but my account got restricted and now I need another platform. I desperately need to find an app that lets me have access to my funds promptly when I need them. Instantly would be even preferred.

Best place for unbiased research

Hi all I’ve recently learnt some or the articles/documents I’ve been reading are fully sponsored and paid for by bitcoin providers or financial institutions that have a vested interest in pushing their propaganda. Where are some unbiased publications or posts that discuss the pros & cons of bitcoin without being too one-sided and that are genuine in their research?

I won’t post the ones I’ve been reading for fear of spreading misinformation.

I’m also open to any podcasts or paid publications as these seem to offer the best insights.

Cryptocurrency vulnerability question

Question 1: Blockchain technology is a fantastic idea, ensuring the system cannot be cheated. I understand that much. But doesn't the problem fall within the exchanges of these said coins? If the CEO or presidential bodies of a crypto exchange were to suddenly decide to criminally exit strategy these consumers what would stop them?

Question 2: Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Bitcoin the best because the creator is unknown and theoretically or suspectedly dead, therefore allowing the system to continue without interruption or any f*uckery? As opposed to any other coin where the CEO can theoretically control the value of he/she ever so desired?

I'm genuinely asking a more experienced and knowledgable group , I've always wondered these things but I guess could never manufacture correct terminology for discovering the answers searching the internet.

DCAing into BTC from direct deposit (coinbase deprecating feature)

Hello!

I just saw the notification that coinbase is no longer supporting direct deposit to btc transactions after November. What do people recommend as a replacement? I like the fact that I could allocate proportion of my paycheck and it waived a larger portion of fees (besides the spread) while DCAing.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated
