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.
1. You can use blockchain.info online based wallet, you don't need to verification your identity in this wallet.
2. I think it's hard to buy without provide our ID but in my country there is a person that accept and sell bitcoin without provide our id. I don't know about on your country though. Try to ask your friends or your fellow country to help your problem.
