While trying to break into the world of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, etc. I have hit a bit of a roadblock. Every exchange i have found so far requires that i enter a large amount of personal information and include a selfie of me with today's date and holding a drivers license. I know it has to do with Anti Money Laundering and Know Your Customer since i live in the U.S. However, i am not looking to deposit much money and just want to get my feet wet with trading some basic currency.
Are there any exchanges that let you get started with a small amount of information (name, address, credit card) and not require every detail of my life?
Thanks for you help!
use local bitcoins and buy in cash.just make sure you buy someone with lots of prior transactions and a high approval rating, or go to your local bitcoin meetup and buy some from someone in cash locally.
