Ask HN: Where Can a Non-Resident US Citizen Buy BTC and ETH?

Posted by artur_makly on Tuesday October 31, 2017 @11:19PM
from the ask-hn dept.

both Coinbase and GDax require a valid US ID which i no longer have.. and sadly a valid US passport isnt enough.

i want to fund the purchase via US Bank transfer. and worst case a ccard.

Most exchanges will ask US residents for multiple forms of identification to prove you are who you say you are. The best thing you can do is fix your ID issue and re-apply to GDAX or Kraken.

Also, secondarily, it is better to use a reputable exchange. I don't think you want to wake up one morning and find the exchange gone.

Use a different exchange.
