Bitcoin question.

AlexMozzi

I wish to be able to receive bitcoin in payment for my sexual and other services when requested in addition to the normal payments of kittens high voltage measuring equipment or gold that I normally insist on receiving as payment.

Every time I've tried an advertised service, it has asked me for so much personal data that it is an unacceptable threat to my current "non person" status.  

Does anyone here know, and have the inclination to explain what steps I and my customers have to take in order to make bitcoin yet another reason to take my clothes off...

(Obviously there's some blunt comedy here) And the truth is more likely to be that I'm trying to sell a room full of radio control gear and related stuff in one hit, and being able to take payment in BTC might make the impossible task a bit easier and quicker to accomplish in the current economic landscape... 

All those BTC miilionaires who bought at the start have trouble spending it, you now..

  • I think the first thing to say is that bitcoin wasn’t really intended to be an anonymous currency. It is by its very nature designed to be a transparent ledger where everyone is aware of all of the transactions. However much like a Swiss bank account it is a ledger where you are identified by a number not a name. However if you intend to get bitcoin by using money from your bank account, or you want to convert bitcoin into money in your bank account, you are going to have to give someone your bank account details which will be identifying.

    of course it would only be identifying if that party was willing to put that information in the hands of people who might be trying to track you. But if it really matters to you that that not be a possibility then you will have to find a bitcoin dealer who will deal in cash. To the best of my knowledge these are very difficult to find and are very very shady.
