Can I buy Bitcoin with cash or a card here?

No. SwapSS only exchanges one cryptocurrency for another. There is no fiat side at all, and we would rather say that plainly than waste your time.

Do I need to verify my identity?

No. There are no accounts and no documents. The form asks for an amount and a receiving address, nothing about you.

Who is on the other side of my trade?

Nobody you have to trust. You swap against the service at a rate locked up front, not against a stranger with terms in the description.

What if my swap runs into a problem?

Support is a human on Telegram, and if a swap cannot complete, you leave a refund address and get your coins back.

A LocalBitcoins alternative, minus the counterparty

LocalBitcoins closed in February 2023, ten years in. The thing people first loved about it had left even earlier: from 2019 every trade required a verified identity. If what you miss is cash changing hands, we honestly cannot help you. If what you miss is trading Bitcoin without an account, that is exactly what SwapSS does.

What happened to LocalBitcoins

The company announced the closure on February 9, 2023 and stopped trading later that month, citing the market. By then the old LocalBitcoins was long gone anyway: mandatory identity checks had arrived in 2019 with Finnish regulation, and the traders who came for privacy had mostly moved on.

First, the honest part

SwapSS is crypto-to-crypto only. No cash meetups, no bank transfers, no fiat of any kind. You arrive with one coin and leave with another. If you need to turn banknotes into Bitcoin, we are the wrong tool, and no page like this one should tell you otherwise.

No counterparty, no haggling

On LocalBitcoins every trade was a person: their price, their terms, their mood, an escrow for when it went sideways. Here there is nobody to negotiate with. The form quotes a rate, locks it, and the service delivers it. No offers to compare, no reputation scores to read, no dispute to open at midnight.

And no account

There is nothing to register and no tiers to verify. You do not leave a profile behind, because none exists. Amount, receiving address, done.

How a swap works

01 Pick a direction, for example BTC to USDT, and enter your receiving address.
02 Send Bitcoin in one transaction to the address shown.
03 USDT arrives at your wallet. The rate was locked when you started.
