On one hand, KYC can help prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities.

I have yet to see any convincing evidence that this is the case, and I've definitely looked for it. It is absolutely trivial for a money launderer to buy the identities and documents of hundreds or even thousands of users on the dark web for only a few bucks, and to use their names and information to open fake accounts in order to launder money. KYC does not prevent laundering - all it does is frame innocent users who have had their data stolen. And given that literally every major centralized exchange has had one or more data breaches in the past, if you go around completing KYC, then chances are your documents will be leaked, stolen, or sold eventually.

Me? I like the tiered KYC system. And I ain't taking no chances - I use VPNs and anonymous email accounts like a boss. Ain't nobody gonna catch me slipping!

I am curious as to what you are trying to achieve by using a VPN and disposable email addresses when you are handing over your real name and information anyway.

That being said, I'm curious, what methods do you use to buy cryptocurrency? Are there any alternative methods or platforms that you prefer to use?
