I miss localbitcoins | Localbitcoin got killed by Binance P2p.
Have you tried it yet? https://tinypic.host/image/3bRvB
I've personally been to the Coinmetaverse one in TST. Cash transactions right at the counter. There is no fee other than the spread. Your $200 USD would be welcome there.
You do need an account with binance. which is not an issue in Hong Kong, you just wont be allow to trade futures.

I can't find it on google maps though.

Are you not able to send money directly to Binance?
Shakepay in Canada is nice and convenient since you can eTransfer directly to it.

Buy a VPN for 20$, then you can be in Hong Kong.

But binance p2p is a platform that facilitates the peer-to-peer transaction of crypto between user. So technically NOT an official binance function 
Catch here is you buy usdt NOT btc. You would need either trade USDT to BTC on binance if they allow it. Or withdraw from binance to else where.
Even if the exchange is banned, withdraw is always allow. Find a way any way to sign up for an account.
This is available in literally every single country where binance is officially banned.

Police in Richmond and Delta, B.C., are warning the public of a disturbing trend of high-value cryptocurrency investors being targeted for home invasions.
Richmond RCMP and Delta Police say they have responded to several calls of reported robberies in the homes of cryptocurrency investors over the past year.
Staff Sgt. Gene Hsieh with Richmond RCMP major crimes says police are issuing the warning to the public because the robberies appear to be aimed at high-value cryptocurrency investors.
Investigators say they have made an arrest in one case, and are working to confirm if the robberies are related.
Mounties and the Delta Police say the culprits in each case have posed as delivery people or “persons of authority” to gain access to victims’ homes where they rob people of the information needed to access cryptocurrency accounts.
Police say they’re not releasing details of any of the incidents or the amounts of cryptocurrency involved because their investigations are ongoing.
| I guess this is why they suggest using a vpn for mining and ur transactions?

OKX is the new asian centralize exchange. The same p2p shop thats in binance also operates on OKX, at near spot USDT price
But you know bitcoin IS GOING TO FUCKING ZERO  | |

But you know bitcoin IS GOING TO FUCKING ZERO | If that's sarcasm, you should know I've supported Bitcoin 100% since it started, all through the ups and downs, until now. It's the shitcoins and NFTs that I shit on. It's all on record right here!

^ It's won some legal battles with the SEC to be considered as an ETF that can be bought up as such by retirement funds, specifically Blackrock and others.

The entire stock market is up. Rising tide raises all ships.
S&P up 19% YTD
Nasdaq 100 up 46% YTD
2024 is the next BTC halving as well, so that helps i'm sure.
And most importantly, people are getting horny again. 2020 was almost four years ago, it's time for another pump! I'm just waiting for all the backyard warren buffets to start coming out again.
Just remember, when your receptionist is talking about BTC, it's probably time to take some off the table.

So even just 1% of that is $34 billion.
That's a lot of BTC. 750,000+ bitcoins at the current price to be exact.
