Bitcoin and Crypto Currency Exchanges... any that don't require SSN and Picture, etc?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

While trying to break into the world of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, etc. I have hit a bit of a roadblock. Every exchange i have found so far requires that i enter a large amount of personal information and include a selfie of me with today's date and holding a drivers license. I know it has to do with Anti Money Laundering and Know Your Customer since i live in the U.S. However, i am not looking to deposit much money and just want to get my feet wet with trading some basic currency.

Are there any exchanges that let you get started with a small amount of information (name, address, credit card) and not require every detail of my life?

Thanks for you help!

Sort:  

use local bitcoins and buy in cash.just make sure you buy someone with lots of prior transactions and a high approval rating, or go to your local bitcoin meetup and buy some from someone in cash locally.
