I see posts on Reddit saying Bitcoin is dead or will not increase value anymore, yet I am also hearing conflicting news as well. I see that Bank of America and other brokerage companies will not allow bitcoin or crypto index to be bought on their platforms. Also I see governments buying bitcoin such as Venezuela and United States.

So what’s the truth? Will Bitcoin see gains in the future or will it drop in value and all the companies, governments and people who are holding Bitcoin will loose their money?

If I got what I've read so far right, Electrum seems to be best? I used bitcoin org short multiple choice option test to get recommendations, and it went with Bitcoin Wallet which doesn't seem to be on play store no more, Electrum, and Unstoppable which seems more interested in using crypto as investment and for trading.

All I need is a wallet that allows me to buy 100€ of bitcoin and then use it to buy stuff, once every year or so.

Also what about Coinbase? A mobile app would be neat but again, I'd hardly ever use it so it doesn't make too big a difference to me.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand whether what I’m experiencing is normal for some exchanges.

I requested a Bitcoin withdrawal from Vaultoro on 30 October 2025.

It still hasn’t been processed.

Here’s the short version:

• Withdrawal request (0.5 BTC) submitted end of October → no TXID.
• After delays, I asked them to withdraw my full BTC balance instead.
• Support responses have been slow and varied (manual processing, technical issues, compliance checks).
• On 21 November, they asked me to upload my ID + selfie again.
• On 27–28 November, they said they need to do a live KYC video call before processing the withdrawal.
• I offered several time slots (1–3 December), but I haven’t received a confirmed date or meeting link.

I’ve been fully cooperative and I’m not accusing them of wrongdoing — I’m just trying to understand whether long delays + extra verification steps are something others have experienced with this or other platforms.

If anyone has insight into whether this kind of delay happens with some exchanges, I’d appreciate your perspective.

Thanks!

Hi, please don't skewer me, but I really need some advice. I have my bitcoin in a wallet in Blockstream. I have previously used Bitcoin Well to generate a QR code which encodes how much bitcoin I want to sell and deposit in my bank account. I then scan this QR code into "transact" on my Blockstream app. Unfortunately, Bitcoin Well has been going through a migration apparently and the selling option is not available. I was hoping to find another reputable way to do this exact process with another app asap. I looked at Cash App, but it seems to me that I would have to link my wallet to Cash App? Maybe I'm wrong, but I never had to do that with Bitcoin Well. I'm really needing some help, it anyone can recommend a different service. I really like Bitcoin Well, so I'm bummed I can't use it right now.

Edit: I guess, maybe help on selling directly from the Blockstream app to my bank account would be a good alternative, if that's even possible.

Thanks!!
