In terms of centralized exchanges do you think it would be better to use ones not based in the US now?
I'm thinking of avoiding Kraken and Coinbase completely now and just using ones not based in US such as Binance, Kucoin, Huobi.
Btw I'm not personally a US citizen and the KYC rules and regulation on transactions the US government doing seem like a huge hassle now, so would be good to avoid that.
I am not a US citizen as well, so we don't need to choose whether we use it or not. only those people who don't have their own local exchanges are using it or those who reside in the US. Because there are some countries who don't really need to use US-based exchanges cause they have their own like us and there are those who don't because their country has some tight rules about bitcoins.
