For someone in the USA, is it possible to have:
1) A desktop or online based wallet if you don't have a photo ID.
2) Ability to buy btc without needing to provide ID.
That is scary to someone who has had identity stolen before.
Thanks - please be kind. I am new and still learning. I have not yet bought BTC.
It is decentralized so you can join bitcoin not necessarily having that credentials to qualify or joining bitcoin. All you need is enough funds to save it from your wallet and hopefully it will grow unexpectedly over time . Learn how bitcoin works and how it increases the value over some times .
