I'm aware that using an exchange to buy or sell Bitcoin depends on the specific needs, preferences, and circumstances of everyone. Of course, there are some factors to be considered:
Convenience: Exchanges offer a convenient platform to buy or sell Bitcoin quickly and easily, but there are some considerations to keep in mind: Security Risks, Volatility, fees, etc.
Market Access: Exchanges provide access to a wide range of trading pairs and liquidity, allowing you to execute trades at competitive prices.
Security: Reputable exchanges implement robust security measures to protect users' funds and personal information. However, it's crucial to choose a trusted exchange with a strong track record of security.
Fees: Exchanges typically charge fees for transactions, which can vary depending on factors such as trading volume and payment method. Be sure to compare fee structures and consider the overall cost of buying or selling Bitcoin.
Regulation: Using a regulated exchange can provide additional consumer protections and compliance with relevant laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
Alternative Methods: Depending on your preferences, you may also explore alternative methods for buying or selling Bitcoin, such as peer-to-peer platforms, Bitcoin ATMs, or over-the-counter (OTC) trading desks.
Ultimately, whether you choose to use an exchange to buy or sell Bitcoin depends on your individual preferences, risk tolerance, and trading goals. It's essential to conduct thorough research, exercise caution, and consider factors such as security, fees, and regulatory compliance before making any transactions.
Having said that, would you consider using an exchange to buy or sell Bitcoin?

HodlHodl.com and RoboSats, I don't use AML/KYC exchanges anymore.
Only exception would be if I would want to buy BTC from a legal company, to put on balance sheet, then most likely would try Kraken.

AML/KYC is scam

HodlHodl, it seems like its the only viable alternative to the centralised KYC exchanges. It's a P2P exchange, simple easy to use interface, multisig escrow, good dispute administration. Robosats, Bisq and Peaches are rubbish in comparison.
If you want "them" knocking on your door in a few years time enforcing that executive order and asking you to handover your corn, then go with a centralised exchange. It maybe easier now, but in the long run it might cost you. It will definitely cost you in capital gains. Otherwise stacking via P2P is the only answer

I agree with you. I like HodlHodl, too.

Unfortunately there are no good centralized exchanges anymore.
