Personal anecdote: My deprogramming with centralized exchanges has been gradual and successful.
Recently, I had to send some USDT to make a paid, and did not want to change Sats because I had some local Fiat.
Then I went to Binance (I had a lot of time without using my Binance account to change Fiat for crypt)
I looked for an offer and proceed to make the change. And all normal until for a moment forget that it was in Binance and pays from an alternate account that is not linked to my identity associated with Binance.
At that moment, the contrary writes to me. "Hey, who pays? I do not accept third -party payments, etc, etc."
What led me to an unpleasant moment, having to apologize and practically beg the seller, who will not appeal the transaction, because I had already paid him, and appeal would lead us to waste time.
Fortunately, the against part was conscious and empathetic, and after giving me a scolding he proceeded to release the funds.
It was honestly a funny anecdote and that made me think the following: "My cerebral deprogramming on how to trade with KYC has been successfully completed" 😅
No KYC is the correct route, it cannot be denied that on the occasion the services with KYC can be useful.
Thanks for reading.
