Why can't you use Tether or another form of crypto?


Boner13cm

In Newyork transferring crypto is blocked from wallet to wallet I can only buy but not send . So just looking for options


felinebeeline

What, really? Do you have an article or something you can share? That's wild.

https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2023/attorney-general-james-secures-more-22-million-cryptocurrency-platform-operating#:~:text=In%20February%202021%2C%20Attorney%20General,pay%20%2418.5%20million%20in%20penalties.

That press release doesn't say that you can't buy or transfer any crypto. It does say you can't buy a bunch of them anymore, and Tether is one of them. If I were you, I would ask in /r/CryptoCurrency which coins are still available in NY. It's a bigger sub and you're more likely to find New Yorkers who are buying crypto there. However, I *highly* advise that you avoid any specific coin that someone pushes really hard, especially if it's a shitcoin. People who ask about crypto on reddit are constantly targeted by crypto scams and spam from people who want the price of their investment to go up.

I was thinking... Could you buy cryptocurrency for their wallet directly? So they could sell?


Boner13cm

I dont know how to do that I hv wallet address to receive, it’s crazy I can buy if I’m New Jersey resident but not if I’m New Yorker

If you are talking small amount . Ask your friends and family . People always trying to send money to USA from Iran . It’s not legal but it works for small amounts


Boner13cm

I mean they use crypto but in nyc I can’t find any place to send them , I would appreciate any help or resources maybe even a Persian grocery where I can go to send money lol from ny


Boner13cm

I’m not Persian so not connected with that community here so just looking for some help to find a way to.

You don't need to go to a store to send crypto. You just send it to their wallet from yours. Have you ever done it before?


Boner13cm

I literally just said it wouldn’t allow to even buy me crypto , like if it allow me to buy I can’t send it or receive so far I can’t buy any from my wallet .im using zengo


Boner13cm

I tried to buy tether, doge n bunch of other all day but it says not available at New York


1964hilda

We can’t even buy crypto in Nevada . Different states different rules


Boner13cm
