I have some Bitcoin and Ethereum on Coinbase since 2018. Coinbase never failed me, but they ask for more and more personal details. Last requests made me look for alternatives. I read wasabi is one of the best privacy focused wallets, but what do you use? Im not trying to hide anything from goverment or anything like that, I just want safe place for coins that doesnt feel like someone is tracking every single step I make

Edit: made sentence more clear

From worst to best places to store your crypto:

  1. Online KYC exchange
  2. Online non KYC exchange
  3. Offline on your computer/phone
  4. Offline on a USB key/SD card
  5. Offline on a cold storage like Ledger or Trezor

What non KYC exchange exist today do you know? I guess I could use one in the future when I decide to exchange from crypto to crypto or from crypto to $

I use MEXC and CoinEx. They have KYC, but it's optional.
