Revolut however just did a third degree on me, including face recognition, and I actually have to wait for them to review my account before I can transfer MY money onto a safer place. Ever the more reasons.

I only ever use revolut for travelling or paying p2p. Never had any trouble. What sparked this and what's wrong with Muun?

Nothing wrong with Muun, simple and effective, just moving to Bitbox. I had transferred from Revolut to Muun before with no issues but Revolut went on one this time around 😂 will still use it the same way you do, but won't see me buying a single sat anymore 😂
I’ve had trouble with Revolut especially in the “Crypto” part. If you stick to small numbers they’re fine. I tried to buy a chunk of Bitcoin with my wife’s pension payout. It all went horribly wrong 😩 I ended up buying it all on Xapo

Yeah not ideal. It asked me like 10 questions regarding scammers, FCA and other bits. It comes to show they aren't truly concerned they just want you to give up so they keep your money.
I remember CoinCorner insisted I phone them after buying more than £1,000 of Bitcoin. They were concerned I was being scammed. Turned out the call centre guy was not a Bitcoiner and hadn’t read my book. I orange pilled and sold a copy of my book that day 😂

I was a big fan of coincorner but had to leave because of banking regs. I love Danny and Molly but wasn't prepared to keep having to explain why, what and who every time I bought more than a fivers worth. It's what made me totally KYC free

Ah. As I just said to Mike, I am totally KYC free. I don't trust any of the exchanges.

I had a conversation with one of them who asked me why I wanted to move that much. When I said it was none of his business he threatened not to let me. Luckily I'd managed to lightning it off in bits as we were talking. It was the last straw for me

Sounds like a win to me 🔥
They are trapped in between the fiat system and Bitcoin world. I still use them to initialise Bolt cards which I give away as Birthday and Christmas presents 😂

I have one of their bolt cards. Never used it. I keep meaning to set it up on my node but...

That'll help. If you start buying p2p keep your non KYC stack separate from your KYC stuff 😘

Probs, unfortunately lightning isn't as far forward as it should be. Potentially fantastic, practically cumbersome for impatient people and not widely accepted. I'm a fan by the way. I've had my lightning node for 5 years now

Hmm haven't yet. The person that introduced me to Bitcoin told me about it briefly, will have a closer look!
