Beware of LocalBitcoins 'anti-fraud' policy. Your funds are not safe there

I registered an account on LBC to buy some bitcoins. Everything went smoothly, we finished the deal but when I tried to withdraw BTC to my external wallet, I got this message:

Error! Error processing transaction. Please contact support by clicking here

I tried once more but the error was still there.

I created a ticket describing my problem. After two days of waiting they gave me a short reply that my account was banned as suspicious. What the …?!? I was new to LBC and made only one deal there, and got positive feedback from the seller (I replied that they can contact the seller to ensure everything was OK). I described this to the support but… silence was the answer.

My coins are still locked there, despite the fact that I even got verified with my ID.

Can anybody suggest what to do?

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
