If you are using shitcoin casino, I'd say at least try shifting to Bitcoin only solution?
- on Strike you have zero fees to buy Bitcoin and can send it over lightning or onchain
- on River you can buy large amounts and also send onchain or over lightning
- with Swan you can set up nice DCA
But even better start using Robosats or Bisq or private Signal groups. Or become friend with your local miner and get sats from them for cash...

For the past few years I've been buying on KYC exchanges (CB and Cash app). But I'm well over my HODL portfolio goal now and have been transitioning into earning BTC via work (I'm a digital nomad/remote consultant, so billing some of my hours in BTC, around 20% at the moment) and content consumption/creation (Fountain/SN).
I'm really enjoying diving into the Lightning space at the moment.

I offer my potential clients 20% discount if paid directly in Bitcoin. Most can't say no to that.

Bisq is becoming better and better, now I'm used to only post my orders, always with a 5% deviation and I don't wait much. If you buy some BSQ the fees are very acceptable. So with a little motivation you can have no-kyc sats under the market price.
Not if you have a lot of liquidities true, but I'm confident more and more users will come.

Is Strike considered a KYC bitcoin-only exchange?
I can't remember. I know they required me to use Plaid for "verification" but I refused. Then they made it so you could do just a bank debit card. I don't remember sending ID or anything to Strike.
Oh, and Strike has stablecoin for Argentina. Does that make them a shitcoin exchange?

I agree that there is sometimes not exactly a clear cut, but I'd consider Strike to be KYC bitcoin-only exchange.
In a big majority of the cases, Strike will make you connect your identity with the account.

It was KYC exchange to cold wallet. Now it is only KYC-free meetup with percentage markup and into Lightning ;)
But probably I will go back to the first again soon
