Clueless on bitcoin with a question. As someone who has only barely used bitcoin in micro amounts, is it really possible to do it privately anymore? I had a small amount left from a few years back that has grown to a few more bucks lately, and I thought about cashing it out. But I discovered that "Coinbase" is now suddenly asking for my ID, all of my information, my first-born child, you name it. So do you just have to be savvy and know how to use it without Coinbase?
You have to find someone willing to send you money through paypal or some other means. Basically go to reddit and find someone with a lot of confirmed transactions on the crypto trading subreddits.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks
It's harder to find those people because financial regulators routinely sets up stings to catch up anyone selling crypto privately.
