I haven't been dealing with cryptocurrency lately but every couple years or so I look around at the current state of things.
QUOTE(ah225 @ i want to see a picture of your face, show me now!)
I looked for several virtual currency exchanges on the internet, but they all asked me to provide my ID for authentication. This makes me uneasy. I don't really want to give out my ID information to people. Are there any exchanges where you can buy BCH anonymously?
Due to the state that I live in, I am banned from most cryptocurrency exchange sites. The only ones that I might be able to use, or have used in the past before I was banned (Bitstamp), all require me to submit pictures of my face and stuff to ID me (I think I tried submitting strange fake pictures and it didn't work, but I forget, plus they might just steal all your money).
With the replies that you got, it seems that most other places in the world can still use cryptocurrency without having to take naked pictures of
yourself your face.
But presuming you must take these pictures of your face and provide your identity to these organizations, what is the benefit of cryptocurrency? It's not anonymous at all, right? In fact, could it be far less anonymous than PayPal or anything else?
(Well, at least Tenboro or whoever I send bitcoins to, won't get to know my name, I guess? If I use PayPal then Tenboro gets to know my e-mail address. But if they wanted to, they could send Tenboro my naked pictures!)
