Charles Hoskinson stated that cryptocurrency needs to cut ties with banks, how do you think this will work out? Because I use Fiat through Bank to purchase Bitcoin and other altcoins, is there any possible way that this can work out? What ways can someone buy Bitcoin without the help of Banks?
Peer to peer is the possible way we all can buy bitcoin without the help any bank, and interestingly, the p2p market have very much advanced from what it used to be some few years back, p2p has gone digital, no longer analogy like it used to be.
Several big exchanges now offer p2p market to their users, providing a safe place, for user to buy and sell bitcoin safely without the involvement of any bank.
The sad part about your response is that buying p2p can get you in trouble. Assuming your Bitcoins increase in price and you want to cash out after a certain holding period, financial authorities will ask you where you got those Bitcoins from. If you didn't document precisely who sold them to you, and if you don't make sure that the data provided is true, you might get a problem because you can't prove the origin of funds and the date of the transaction, which could be relevant for tax calculation purposes depending on the country you are living in. P2P trades can bring their own set of problems to the table. There might be countries where it is possible and no problem at all, but I know countries where it could turn into an issue as soon as you want to turn it into cash. If you do that with a p2p trade again, you can still be stuck because you can't easily buy a house and tell financial authorities that you got lucky. Again, it all depends on where you are living.
