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 think, there's no need for you to worry because I think there are other crypto exchange in your country that you can use except for Kraken and Coinbase. Also don't be scared about KYC because later own you can't avoid that and as long as you did right then don't worry.
