How to safely buy cryptocurrency – Bits Media

Interest in cryptocurrency continues to grow, And more and more people are interested in the topic of purchase and exchange of crypto assets. In order not to become a victim of scammers and not get "dirty" coins, It is necessary to follow certain rules.

Bitcoin received a new development impetus Thanks to his recognition by the US regulator, as well as the launch of new funds, which enable investors to invest their savings in cryptocurrency.

The Russian stock market is isolated from world exchanges, However, the law is not prohibited from buying, keep and dispose of the Tsfa as property. It means, that Russians also have the opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency. How to do this as safely and legally competent? Let's look at these issues in detail.

The day of the beginning will dispel the myth of the anonymity of the cryptocurrency. Since transactions pass through an open blockchain, then you can trace, What wallets the coin visited. And if cryptocurrency once participated in illegal activities, She forever receives the status of “dirty” and will not be taken by large sites.

If you pick up a request on the Internet, cryptocurrency, You will have access to you from hundreds of exchangers, aggregators and P2P sites, exchangeing cryptocurrency.

Part of exchangers - phishing pages, whose task is to get customer money and disappear with them. The rest of the exchangers are not particularly picky for the quality of the received cryptocurrency and the law -abiding of counterparties. for instance, They can use cryptocurrency, on which narcotic substances were bought. Clients of exchangers can be criminals, who stole cryptocurrency.

To avoid problems, When choosing a site, Pay attention, whether Aml/KYC procedures are carried out on it.

Such procedures are introduced by many cryptocurrency sites. Western exchanges sometimes block the accounts of Russians, Therefore, we will consider the Russian cryptocurrency exchange AWEX. She did not introduce restrictions on investors, has its own customer service offices in Moscow, Dubai and other cities of the world (Unlike most gray exchangers, who are "afraid" to communicate with customers offline).

The procedure for checking the cryptocurrency on AWEX works as follows. After cryptocurrency enters the exchange, A special aml department of the company checks it using the Chainalysis service(Analysts of this company track all the well -known wallets of criminals and can give information about the involvement of these coins in illegal activities). There is also a check of the counterparty using the Sumsub service to determine the risk level.

If it turns out, that an attempt was made to translate "dirty" cryptocurrency or counterparty involved in unlawful activities, then cryptocurrency is not accepted and any work with the offender is blocked.

So that customers can be sure of the "legal purity" of the received cryptocurrency, operator, Aml specialists and other AWEX employees adhere to Aml/KYC policies, and these points are included in their duties.

Unfortunately, The legislation of the Russian Federation does not yet provide for licensing the activities of cryptocurrency exchanges, But the AWEX branch in Dubai received a license to carry out activities related to the Tsf. Obtaining a license from the UAE regulator is associated with the passage of the candidates of strict selection. In the interests of investors, the state body monitors the compliance of the exchange by the legislation of the UAE.

How to protect cryptocurrency from theft from a crypto

After registering on AWEX, The user can pass the verification procedure in the case of hacking the account, This procedure will not allow attackers to dispose of the clients of the client.

The account of the account of the account to IP will not allow attackers to use the client account in AWEX, The security system simply will not allow them to even log in.

After connecting a two -factor authorization system from Google 2FA, Even knowledge of the password, Login and IP will not allow criminals to enter the account.

We will form the main theses and summarize on the topic of safe purchase of cryptocurrency:

Neglect of the rules of "legal cleanliness" can lead to problems with law enforcement agencies, but “dirty” cryptocurrency is not always just to sell or exchange.

As part of the formation of an investment pillow, due to its decentralized structure, Cryptocurrency can become a wonderful refuge for Russians in difficult times and this way is better to go with a reliable partner.
