Any advice on what exchange to use from the USA? Asking for a backwards, techless Ozark hick Tongue

funding/withdrawal options other than wire transfer? I thought Kraken would be good, but apparently its easier to use from the North Pole than from within US.

no advice per se but ill give a quick rundown on coinbase as ive used it since 2013 or so. be aware it gets a lot of hate for reasons but it works.

cons:

KYC to the max
they will track the shit outta you.
cant send or receive from any gambling site (pretty sure).
will sell all info they can get on you and your corn to whoever wants it.
site always seems to have "issues" when things get hot and interesting.
thoughtfully sends the IRS a 1099 form in case you forget

pros:

takes yubikey as 2fa
whitelisted withdrawal addys
a vault that time delays coins moving (optional)
links to bank account, and i think debit cards but not sure on that never used debit card there

Coinbase is good for cash outs.

Always remember if it goes in and out of coinbase it will be tax reportable for a USA citizen.

Good to know. I want them to be able to easily deposit/trade/withdraw a few (very) small amounts to get familiar with the process before I even consider handing over the keys I've been custodian of for way too long.
