That's a good post you put up there, I have been trading with kucoin because i like the security been implemented on the exchange but I will soon move away from trading with them because of the KYC they want to implement soon. So i think for newbies it's good to always good with top volume exchanges and Bianance is good for any newbie to start with.
Well.. KYC shows its security level, don't hate it
Personally, I hate kyc thingy as it just ruined the anonymity and remember we're dealing in a third-party so it's not that secured.
