A Thread from @p2p_bitcoin

https://threader.app/thread/1458573740187570178

"[#Nigerian] #P2P #bitcoin :bitcoin: #traders are finding that their #banks have closed their accounts."

"Many will continue to do #trading, but will do so '#underground' -- doing in-person #cash / face-to-face (#F2F) trades."

"If sting ops become common, traders can go even further underground."

"P2P trading activity begins to look little different from the activity for a #darknet market (#DNM)."

Crypto trading thrives in Nigeria despite official disapproval

https://www.reuters.com/business/crypto-trading-thrives-nigeria-despite-official-disapproval-2021-10-12/

"Other users just exchange #crypto for #Nigerian #naira or other currencies with people they find on #WhatsApp or #Telegram [rather than using #P2P platforms]."

"As a result, #Chainalysis said #Nigeria's crypto use is likely even higher than its figures suggest."

For P2P trading, yadio_io's Market Search Tool is fantastic!

- Choose Country ("Pin" icon) -> Kenya
- Choose Currency Pair (KSh -> BTC, or BTC -> KSh)

And it will show the offers (ordered by best price first) across multiple P2P trading platforms!!

The "Other" payment method on Local Cryptos was useful because the list of payment methods is just a fraction of all payment methods that exist.

But they changed and now the trade offer is required to use a pmt method that exists in their list.

If you can't find the payment method you wish to use, you can suggest a payment method here:

The IRS Goes Undercover As A Bitcoin Trader In $180,000 Sting

https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2021/09/01/irs-undercover-on-a-bitcoin-and-cryptocurrency-trading-site-in-180000-sting/?sh=45e7fa2828e7

--
Let's summarize:

- IRS Sting does $200K in trxs, but $180K of that is to this one buyer. i.e., likely only this one bust as a result.
- Buyer sends $10,000 or more, in a single trx. No legit seller would do that, without requiring KYC.
- Buyer shared how cash was from drug sales.
