These days, anyone involved in mixed encryption can feel a common trend: the days of C2C transactions are becoming increasingly difficult. This is not due to a sudden policy crackdown, but rather a gradual suffocation, like boiling a frog in warm water, through various risk control rules that slowly block the way. By the time most people realize it, there’s often no way out. Frankly speaking, this is an inevitable direction of regulation; the era of short-term speculation and quick cashing out has indeed come to an end.

So what should you do? The answer is actually simple, but it might sound a bit troublesome. You need to find reliable, long-term C2C merchants, and truly invest time in building trust. The specific approach is: first, add them as friends on WeChat or Alipay using the same name, don’t rush into transactions, and give yourself a day or two to chat casually, accumulate transaction records, and chat history. This way, you’ll have a smoother pass through risk control.

Does this sound a bit "redundant"? But this is precisely the most effective way to deal with current risk control. Unfortunately, many impatient people find it troublesome and give up directly.

What kind of merchants are worth long-term cooperation? Not those who "release coins quickly and without hesitation," but rather those with strict reviews and complicated procedures. They may seem very strict, but that’s actually a sign of compliant operation and genuine risk consideration. Once problematic funds get involved, and judicial freezes happen, the entire chain collapses, and no one involved can escape. Strict merchants may be troublesome, but they don’t lack clients. They even feel relieved when impatient people leave—because the real big risks are hidden in those transactions that seem "very convenient."

You might have heard someone say: "The account is about to be liquidated, who has the energy to bother with this?" or "Why doesn’t everyone cooperate with me? Do I have to do this alone?" These complaints sound reasonable, but essentially they are just gambling with risk. Safety is never optional; it’s the bottom line. Risk control is not an extra hassle; it’s the only pass to survive in this market.

The moment that truly awakens people is when their account is frozen by judicial authorities and their funds are lost entirely. By then, it’s too late to regret.

In summary: In the seemingly free but actually trap-filled space of C2C, patience and caution are not weaknesses but survival skills. Impatient and arrogant people are often the first to be eliminated. Only by truly prioritizing safety can you find your way to thrive in this increasingly tight regulatory environment.
