One more question, why are you so afraid of the rules and the KYC system, are you committing a violation of law or a crime, that you are so afraid of an exchange that asks for your real identity, if you don't have any problem in your country I think KYC is not a big problem for you.

Can we please stop repeating this incredibly incorrect notion that the only people who care about privacy must be criminals, and that only criminals care about their privacy? I don't have anything to hide, but I also don't have anything I want to share with anybody and everybody who is interested. You probably don't do anything illegal in your house, but you still have curtains on your windows. You probably don't do anything illegal online, but you still don't publish your browser history on your Facebook profile. The whole point of bitcoin is to not have random strangers and third parties start sticking their noses in to your private affairs, not to mention the massive security risk that comes with completing KYC.

Privacy is a fundamental human right. Without privacy, there is no freedom.

Allow me to quote myself from a few years ago:

I don't need to spend a lot of time dismantling the "nothing to hide" argument, because it is already widely discredited. I will share one of my favorite quotes on the topic though:

Quote from: Glenn Greenwald

The old cliché is often mocked though basically true: there’s no reason to worry about surveillance if you have nothing to hide. That mindset creates the incentive to be as compliant and inconspicuous as possible: those who think that way decide it’s in their best interests to provide authorities with as little reason as possible to care about them. That’s accomplished by never stepping out of line. Those willing to live their lives that way will be indifferent to the loss of privacy because they feel that they lose nothing from it. Above all else, that’s what a Surveillance State does: it breeds fear of doing anything out of the ordinary by creating a class of meek citizens who know they are being constantly watched.
