It's official now. The first and only cryptocurrency exchange in Kuwait has
closed for good I have opened an account with another exchange, did KYC but man! the fees are expensive! I had to pay $10 fee on a $500 value transaction (not to mention paying currency conversion fees.)
I think the only solution to pass this is to open a bank account with $ USD in it.
Anyways I will keep this thread open for others to share their input or learn from this experience.
