Hmm? I have Brave browser after being badgered by a few people to install it. After a while the pop-ps started to annoy me, yes I know that's how you earn BAT. TBH what really put me off was Uphold wanting either my passport or drivers license details. You must be joking? Hello, identity theft.
Yep, that is pretty annoying but that is becoming par for the course for many crypto exchanges. Regulations are forcing them to comply or be shut down.
I'll have to wait for Coinbase, ionomy or StakeCube to step up then. :-)
Coinbase asks for quite a few documents already as well. Ionomy is one of the few non KYC exchanges out there that Americans can use currently...
I have accounts with all three which were created pre "Give us your DNA and your first born male child!"
I did as well but when I tried to move large amounts of money through Coinbase they made me re-verify basically and asked for similar documents as other KYC exchanges.
That's KYC for you, we need a far more decentralsied option to replace Brave where there's no KYC just to withdraw your own tokens. If an exchange has to set up KYC to operate in a given country, that's on them, but making everyone who just wants to withdraw a token to their own wallet do KYC is complete BS.
It's only a matter of time before a massive KYC leak happens and tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of people are screwed.
