Hawaii decided to make Bitcoin illegal last year and therefore anybody holding a Coinbase account was asked to take out all Bitcoin funds inside the wallet and close the account.

It was great timing too, I only lost out on gaining a few ten thousand dollars before it shot up to $20,000 per coin- but hey thanks Hawaii for making the call!

I have read and heard a number of ways. Feel free to add to this thread:

  1. Uphold.com
  2. changelly.com
  3. xcoins.io
  4. Personal Exchanges - can be sketchy
  5. Ways to still use your Coinbase wallet - Western union, using out mainland address, minor island address?

Thoughts and experience with any of these platforms?

X coins (#3) which stems from https://hawaiibitcoin.biz/ seems legit. They lend you the bitcoin instead of directly purchasing them. Has anybody else used this platform? How are the fees and transfer times?

I've been looking at virwox but the Skrill payment processer has too many bad reviews to risk it. Have you found anyway around Hawaii's issue with Bitcoin.

Also ive been checking out a site called upaycard.com its been around for a few years and allows for you to exchange Fiat for cryptos as of 2017 I think just found it recently but I'm curious if anyone else has had experience with it.?
