You mean a Nigerian traveler, who is coming here for just 2 weeks to scam his lonely Instagram followers, can open an account with Interactive Brokers with just his passport number? Geez, I hope not. I still think only resident aliens who are living here are allowed to open an account. If anyone...

Yeah, I hear ya. Also I don't wanna detract this thread from OP's main concern. Before I make my exit, however, just wanna point out that those who can obtain ITIN are: A foreign national legally residing in the United States who, based on number of days in the country, is filing a U.S. tax...

Isn't that referring to the Green Card? Green card holders are usually foreign nationals living in the US, so they actually have a verifiable address. But how is that possible for someone like OP?

And so it finally happened...

Sorry, it was meant as a sarcasm to @hilmy83's equally sarcastic post. :(

Finally, somebody figured out what I was after! :D Folks, in order to become filth rich, you don't need to predict what will happen tomorrow, let alone next week, next month or even next year. You just need to know what the next bar or candle is. Do that time and time again and you're set to...

The institutional boogeyman is after your bitcoins. I have a buy at 42,000.

It ain't worth it. Go back to your 9-to-5 and don't look back. At the very least, you'll retire with your savings and what little you made from your 401(k).
