At the present time, there are restrictions on purchasing cryptos if you reside in New York State. One can only speculate as to the reasons since everything was fine a year ago. I speculate that the central banking globalist Satanists are terrified of losing their collapsing fiat currency financial system without their "centralized" crypto replacement financial system in place. They think they can win. They will not. If you want to buy cryptos from New York State follow my lead in the next paragraph.
I had the same issue trying to purchase cryptos from New York State (http://bit.ly/newyorkcryptos) and searched everywhere for an exchange that had slipped through the cracks. I signed up for some exchanges only to be told no at the last minute, which was extremely frustrating. I eventually found one that works but here is the drawback. The only way to fund the account at the present time is to fund it with existing cryptos. No big deal if you really want to buy altcoins outside of the parameters Coinbase offers. You cannot fund your account with fiat, not yet anyhow, but that's not a big deal at all. So, to bypass the NYS horseshit I used Coinbase to buy some Bitcoin first. Then I went to this crypto exchange (http://bit.ly/newyorkcryptos) that allows new york state purchases and created an account. I then transferred my Bitcoin with no problems. I then sold the Bitcoin for USDT and with the USDT I was able to buy several altcoins with no issues. Good luck. Let me know if this works for you. It worked well for me and I am still buying.
One more thing. As any crypto buyer will tell you, you should never leave a substantial amount of cryptos on the exchange you purchased them from. I leave small amounts only and transfer the rest to the best crypto hardware wallet on the market, http://bit.ly/popularcryptowallet which is just amazing! It works with over a thousand different Cryptos and the list is growing. Good luck. Let us know how you made out.
May 22, 2023 - Every Crypto exchange I found with a loophole has been closed by the globalist dirtbags. There are only a couple who will probably remain open, but I am reluctant to mention them here since I know I am being watched by cowards and order followers of the Deep State. I strongly suggest getting some Bitcoin, not a lot, just some and then putting those cryptos on a Ledger device that is in YOUR possession. I'll explain more later. I just stumbled upon this social media network again and I'm glad I did. A lot has changed and I have a lot to say. I'll be back shortly.
