So I’ve got this one friend — super into privacy. Like, VPN-on-at-the-gym type of guy. I owed him some ETH, and he straight up refused to use any exchange that asked for ID. Said “if it needs KYC, it’s a trap.” I rolled my eyes at first, but then realized… maybe he’s not totally wrong?
Haha I know the type. Mine literally sends voice notes through encrypted email. But honestly, I get it. Some of these KYC processes are wild — selfie, passport, proof of address, then still waiting 2 days. I had to swap coins last month and just couldn’t be bothered. Ended up Googling “crypto exchange no KYC” just to avoid the whole circus.
Haha, that's right, send voice via encrypted email. But I have to admit, the KYC steps are so confusing now — selfie, passport, electricity bill and still waiting. The other day I wanted to swap coins but I was too lazy, so I had to Google crypto exchange no KYC for quickness, like in Basketball Stars, when you get in you want to play right away, no need to beat around the bush.
Honestly? He’s not crazy.
