(1/8) While in Hong Kong, I was primarily acquiring sats via in-person cash exchanges which I set up over p2p marketplaces like @paxful, amongst others.
Here& #39;s a quick opsec manual for those looking to do the same

Here& #39;s a quick opsec manual for those looking to do the same
(2/8) First and foremost, get a burner SIM card and (if possible), a burner phone. I had an old Android phone I used for this and picked up a burner SIM for about $50 HKD that lasted me for my entire stay.
(3/8) If you& #39;re going to use @paxful or any similar p2p service to set up the in person meets, try to register with a new email address using @ProtonMail and if you can& #39;t, just make sure you don& #39;t sign up with an email you& #39;ve used with centralized exchanges like @coinbase.
(4/8) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎰" title="Spielautomat" aria-label="Emoji: Spielautomat"> Bonus points if make sure you complete verification processes on the p2p service using your new burner email + phone number.
(5/8) The benefit of using services like @paxful is that you don& #39;t *have* to submit ID/passport documents. You can just use the site to find people willing to exchange cash for Bitcoin or vice versa in person and use your email+phone number for account verification.
(6/8) Now, onto the actual meet and exchange. Don& #39;t wear expensive clothing or accessories. Don& #39;t take any more money than you need for the journey to and back, as well as what you need to make the swap.
