Re: Bitcoin in Lebanon

I have 0.01501223 BTC on Poloniex. I had 0.8 XMR on MyMonero so I decided lately to exchange them for bitcoin.

Re: Bitcoin in Lebanon

anybody here signed up on bitstamp.com? what did you send them as a proof of residency? I live with my parents so I don’t have a utility bill in my name, and my bank doesn’t put the address on the bank statement.

interesting read, about how the BTC blockchain is incurring high fees

IMO Monero will be the one to watch in the coming months, mainly because of the high level of privacy

Bitsane or Hitbtc, I can't recall.
They also refused a transaction from Okpay iirc.

This was on my brother's account, not mine.

Re: Bitcoin in Lebanon

Hello everyone.

I'd like to buy a small quantity of bitcoin to get started, but I've been refused on all the global exchange websites I tried. And localbitcoins seems to have higher prices than everywhere else.
Is there someone in Lebanon willing to sell me bitcoin for cash?

You can receive money from Skrill but can you buy bitcoins from Skrill with your Audi Account ?

Tried to do add funds but it didn't work. Maybe it's banned now ?

Re: Bitcoin in Lebanon

Audi doesn't "like" skrill, you will get a phone call informing you NOT to do it again.

Happened with me :)

Re: Bitcoin in Lebanon

I forgot to add that the whole process takes up a big aount of fee, let's say you have 600$ in your bank account, you will end up with about 520$ worth of bitcoin once they reach the exchange

Not buy, but sell. Perhaps it’s as easy to buy though.

Re: Bitcoin in Lebanon

Hello everyone,

Has any of you (living in Lebanon) managed to get their account verified on etoro? The reason I am asking is that I would like to make sure that it is possible before depositing the minimum amount which is now $1000.

EDIT: I have already uploaded all required docs a long time ago. However, upon contacting customer support, I was told that only once my account is funded and the required docs are uploaded, can the verification process be completed.

Re: Bitcoin in Lebanon

Do not use eToro for crypto purchases, they will block you to buy when there’s a long signal and they will block you to sell when they have too many people selling. Plus at points they start taking extra percentages, it happened to a friend of mine who bought 50,000 Ripples on eToro on 0.2$ when it started going up to 1-2$ they started taking a daily fee from him as well as not allowing him to add his position.

It is better to buy real crypto currencies from exchanges such as Bittrex, coinbase etc.

To buy the crypto, several local dealers charge 10-20% extra on current price.

Re: Bitcoin in Lebanon

eToro is not an exchange for buying. It is gambling. You can get verified easily by sending a phone bill.
I use it to make a quick cash, but make sure you know this is gambling, you do not own any crypto, you are gambling that a price drops or goes up.

Yes, but when you're making more bitcoins than what you're spending for power consumption, that's when you start making "free money". The break-even is calculated based on the power efficiency of the hardware in question with respect to the performance it's churning out. Else there wouldn't be that interest in bitcoin mining.

well about money/watt. We have a perk here in Lebanon called "Ishtirak" electricity. Such as you pay the same no matter what you consume. So at least you can pay that bill via bitcoin money, which I am currently trying to do, and looking at the graphs, I'm on the right track : P
