X. STOP USING CENTRALIZED EXCHANGES THAT REQUIRE KYC
KYC - It's the process of uploading photo of your drivers license/passport/ID when you're buying crypto on Centralized exchange.
Which exchanges are centralized?
For example Coinbase, Binance, Gemini, Kraken and others.
You might ask, what's the problem with this?
You've just connected your identity with Crypto that is supposed to be pseudonymous or anonymous.
What can happen next?
Exchange records can leak together with: • who you're • how much crypto to you have • possibly where you live
Get your Crypto the nonKYC way.
How? • ATMs • Meetups • Exchanges like @RetoSwap, @Bisq... (check out @kycnot) • Earn it by providing service, selling product or mining it
X. KEEP IT LOWKEY
• Don't post about your crypto bags on social media • Be cautious about discussing crypto in public • Be cautious in places like meetups and conferences
Don't flex your bags. Don't posts screenshots of your wallet. Don't brag.
