Does anyone know of non-shitty exchanges that New Yorkers can use? My understanding is that New York’s awful laws prevent most of the exchanges from being available to them due to the bit license.
I think this is pretty ballsy. Also is clear Paxful is paving its way to exclusively become a lightning network payments app only. Good for them.
what’s paxful?
This is the way. That’s why I use the only 5 trusted exchanges to buy and then send to my wallet:
1) Kraken
2) Swan
3) Paxful
4) Strike
5) Cash App
All five have cool ‘Bitcoin maximalist’ CEO’s that openly recommend to NOT keep you BTC on the exchanges. And they are the only ones with real proof of reserves.
!LNtip 1000
Edit: Expanding to Strike and Cash App
If you want to run an ethical and honest exchange this move is very understandable.
As a Paxful user, I’d say that 95% of trade on Paxful is Bitcoin. All trades involve only Bitcoin and fiat or stablecoins.
Altcoins are not of much interest for Paxful users. I can appreciate the reasons but this is a good PR move in my opinion.
Yet they will continue to sell USDT and USDC. Yes they are centralised. The entire purpose of bitcoin was to build a trustless system of money. Instead we’ve all decided for some reasons to hinge our entire industry on the backs of trusting a bunch of random people who are in my opinion worse than banks.
I agree with everything that this guys says, especially about PoW vs PoS

Scams are a lucrative business. It takes a great deal of honesty and clear morality to give up the potential for profit, for the greater good of society. I commend Ray & the Paxful team for leading the charge.
Support Bitcoin and Bitcoiners will support you.
Can we all just agree to stop saying “This is the way.”
As a very critical user of Paxful during the blocksize wars, during the last many years since, I am very happy to see this change. As Bitcoiners we should welcome these kinds of companies back with open arms and continue to encourage this pro-bitcoin ethos both loudly and with our business.
Lets show that toxic maximalism includes forgiveness and welcoming and see how long that toxic label sticks!
Ray should rename himself to Chad
That brought a single tear to my eye… beautiful.
Based.
People are starting to understand the difference between crypto (shitcoins) and bitcoin.
Some learn faster than others.
Sounds pretty much like the whole SBF thing following on the heels of the LUNA fiasco has the big boys trying to Cover Their (Your) Own Ass.
It’s C.Y.O.A time at the feeding hole.
And the good, the bad and the ugly would be bending backwards to make sure they look squeaky clean so that they could keep filling their pockets.
He has a points.
THIS IS THE WAY!
Oh what a outstanding step! Like he read my thoughts about ETH exactly!
I agree!
it’s maxi season!
This is the way….
i respect his decision
What’s Paxful?
Sounds like a cover for them going bankrupt.
He woke up and chose truth.
Bitcoin 4 life. Let’s build more utility on BTC. Secure it all.
Sounds like regulation is coming to the US. Here’s hoping a shitcoin purge happens.
A good call, I recently sold all of my ETH for bitcoin. There is no second best.
I got scammed long time ago in Paxful and they never either banned the scammer not helped me in any shape or form.
He makes sense
I get so many downvotes for calling out vitalik and his merry band of thieves with their shitcoin. It’s all about the bitcorn
Based as fuck
Bullish!
Fuck yeah!
😍😍😍😍
“Hey we’re deciding what’s good and what’s bad for our users, like gatekeepers. I think that’s what the crypto spirit is about. Not about borderless and permissionless innovation and self reliancy and learning.”
Here, translated that for you so you don’t have to. But don’t take me on my word. Think about it and come up with your own translation.
Fuck Crypto! Bitcoin and self custody are the revolution :)
Be fearful of people who say exactly all the right words.
Can someone send the link that is underlined in the email reading, “controlled by a small group of people.”?
That’s a real bro move.

AND MY AXE!!
Chad move
Kudos to Paxful, I hope others will follow.
I think this will be a very good play for them in the future. Paxful is now on my radar and will likely get my business.
What does it mean to “personally write to 11.6 million users”, if this email is just sent to everybody..
centralized premined proof of vitalik self-proclaimed ultrasound clown world shitcoin. Fuk that sh1t.
Surprised he didn’t mention the fact that like 80% of all ETH blocks are now complying with US sanctions laws as well. Either way, bravo Paxful. Massive W
We’ll said!
