The Travel Rule is coming. This is not good news.
The compliance net around Aussie Bitcoiners is tightening again.
First it was KYC. Then bank account checks. Then source-of-funds. Then endless questionnaires.
Now the “Travel Rule” is becoming the next major layer of surveillance and administrative burden.
And if you think it ends there, think again.
Sad.
But not lost.
Bitaroo is prepared to fight the good fight with major news to be announced next month.
Expect us.

Bitcoin's biggest correction of this 2024 cycle is 30%, which is completely inline with what we've seen in previous cycles.
Bitcoin saw 6 x corrections bigger than 25% in 2017 alone, when it rallied from under $1,000 to $20,000!🚀

💥 Introducing our new slogan 💥
The evolution of our slogan narrates the journey from our inception to our current stance, as detailed below.
We launched in 2020, at the halving block, and embarked on a mission to become the best bitcoin exchange for Bitcoiners like ourselves.
Our slogan echoed this sentiment:
"Bitaroo - Built for Bitcoiners"
However, as we grew, we realised that the majority of our users were not necessarily hardcore toxic Bitcoin maximalists but rather everyday people keen on buying bitcoin for the very first time.
This meant that our slogan was confusing for some of them, perhaps even intimidating:
"Is this platform exclusively for Bitcoiners? I'm just looking to make my first bitcoin purchase. Perhaps this isn't the right fit for me?"
Furthermore, certain features we deployed, such as the Bitaroo Vault and Sell, were not directly built for Bitcoiners, further highlighting the disconnect with our original slogan.
Thus, it became apparent that a change was necessary.
Today, we proudly unveil our new slogan:
"Bitaroo - Welcome to Bitcoin"
We believe this slogan resonates better with us as well as with all of our users.
It is inviting precoiners to Bitcoin and it is a promise to Bitcoiners that we will add more and more features, enabling them (and us!) to use our services in ways that were not available before.
Stay tuned :-)

🔥 #BitcoinHalving2024 special 🔥
Get paid to withdraw your sats 🥳
How it works:
1. During the halving block, initiate a BTC withdrawal from Bitaroo (on-chain or via LN) 👍
2. You'll be reimbursed for the withdrawal fee and receive an additional 3.125% 🥳
Example:
On block 840,000, you withdrew your bitcoin and chose to pay 10,000 sats as withdrawal fee.
(it doesn't matter when the withdrawal will be confirmed, only that you initiated it during the halving block)
Within 21 hours your Bitaroo account will be credited with 10,000 sats in addition to 3.125% of the withdrawal fee paid (=313 sats).
So obviously, you might want to go high 😅
1 withdrawal per account please 🙏
Most important:
Happy halving, Bitcoiners!
We ❤️ you
We ❤️ Bitcoin
May this epoch be the best one yet 🚀🌙

All the kiwi digital exchanges that use the same payment processor as we do.

2024-04-04 06:36:29 UTC

Dear Kiwis,
It is with regret that we announce that we have been debanked in New Zealand 😢
Our NZ payment processor can no longer provide services to the 'crypto' industry.
We will search for a new bank, but in the meantime, please do not deposit any NZD, as it will bounce back.
Remember: This is why we #Bitcoin.

💥 Great news for our Aussie users! 💥
We are now waiving the $1.95 fee on all AUD deposits of $1000 or more 🥳

💥 Deployed: Bitaroo Vault 💥
🔥 Ending the Era of 'Paper Bitcoin' 🔥
As Bitcoiners, we understand the importance of self-custody.
But not everyone does...
Many of our friends and family still trust exchanges with their precious sats.
This service is for them 👍
Bitaroo Vault is a custodial proof of funds storage solution with unique advantages:
✅ Allowing users to verify(!) their holdings on our exchange anytime with any Bitcoin Blockchain Explorer
✅ Best-in-class security, surpassing industry standards
✅ Time-lock and additional security measures to protect the world's most scarce asset
Our position hasn't changed: Withdraw.
But, if for some reason you didn’t withdraw, then at the very least, verify 🧐
In addition to manual transfers, eligible users will also receive emails every 2nd of the month when their BTC holdings are eligible for an auto transfer to the Bitaroo Vault. This ensures that their bitcoin is safeguarded frictionlessly.
Bitaroo Vault is a paid service that provides invaluable benefits.
Bitcoin deserves the utmost care, transparency, and peace of mind 🙏
This is what we as custodians provide.
