Since FTX is gone. And Binance/Bitmex are all KYC. Any decent exchanges which are KYC free ?

I heard good stuff about Bybit. Says no kyc for <2BTC withdraws.

What does everyone use?

In today's market, with the exception of bitcoins and non-custodial wallets, as far as I can tell, all the rest we are using are centralized, from exchanges to altcoins...it's all centralized and we don't seem to care about privacy anymore, we care more about profit. If you need a privacy priority coin we have bitcoin and I think bitcoin alone is enough for us to use. As for ethereum or other altcoins that are just tools to make profits, you don't need to worry about whether they are centralized or decentralized. As long as they are profitable for us, we just need to invest and convert them all to bitcoin on the DEX, we are safe.

I really don't understand why would anyone use a CEX these days. Especially for "normal" spot trading. I understand that Ethereum fees are still too high to use Uniswap for a daily trading but there are bunch of L2 solutions that users can trade one with very little gas fee.

And then there is leverage trading. Before it wasn't that easy to do leverage trading on a decentralized exchanges but lately there is an increased popularity in DEXes where users can do leverage trading.

And additional benefit is that no one is forcing you to do KYC on a decentralized exchange while on some centralized exchanges KYC is mandatory.

Yes , and these fixed prices has something to do eith utilities, rent of the building where market is placed, electricity they are using to make customers comfortable, while they are busy bargaining. Things has state of appropriateness do let us all be mindful.

If you guys are not that needy, just buy that thing in particular as it is. Let those who are in need to bargain for it.

Lesson for project owners from CZ
1. Never use a token you created as collateral
2. Don't borrow if you run a crypto business.
3. Don't use capital "efficiently". Have a large reserve

Binance has never used BNB for collateral, and we have never taken on debt. .

Thanks for the input.

So but what I'm still not sure is.

Simply with the example I gave, I know for sure that if I sell the price will fall significantly.

So if I buy back the moment I sell, I buy it cheaper?

For example:

Coin value is $1 because I have a 1000 coins. Selling now would mean 1000x$1=$1000.
Coin value becomes $0.50 because I sold 1000 coins. Buying immediately after my sell would mean 1000x$0.50=$500. That would instantly make me $500 better off.

Is this true, or do I not actually buy at $0.50, even though it is listed as $0.50. But my act of buying forces the price to go to $1. So I'm still buying at $1? But that wouldn't make sense because
if someone else bought it for sure, they would be buying at $0.50. So this does mean dumping and buying immediately would give me positive result($500 profit in this example). It sounds too good to be true.

I might havent able to experience it but there is a friend of mine did really end up for his bank account been frozen and made out some investigations in related into this transactions which i do agree into this

suggesting on adding up it up about accepting third party payments.Also same goes with those p2p transactions which funds should really be verified first if they had credit out on your account before releasing the
assets. There's so much ways for scammers and fraudsters on fooling up people just to take advantage or stole up their money.This is why we should really bare up in mind on how we should really make these
precautionary measures for us to save our own asses on possible situations. Dont make yourself that too confident that you wont get scammed nor being attempted out on doing so.
Use common sense and awareness from time to time.

Now it's time to ask prices to go Lower.
Times like this i go shop or anywhere i always say' it's economic down turn can i get cheaper price.
I allready called to my landlord to make my rent much cheaper.
It's times of economic bad times so now you can ask cheaper prices of anything always.

I know for security and safety reasons thats why Bitcoin wallet have been set to have the seed phrase security.
Which is supposed to be ones wallet security pin,but you know as humans forgetting and carelessness is a must in our nature.
But the disadvantage is that this has led to many people loosing their Bitcoin in their wallet or should I say stuck with access to it.
Since their is no way you can stair up a forgotten password option in the wallet app

Bitcoin is becoming more and more popular and applicable everyday and there are plenty of companies and businesses accepting it as a common type of payment. However, when digital money is globally accepted, would there still be a need for cryptocurrency exchanges? Any thoughts on this?

   - The only thing I can say about Ethereum right now because of that merger is that the transaction fee in ERC20 is going down somehow, unlike when that merger didn't happen yet. So at least I can say that it has helped ETH holders who often conduct transactions in ETH.

Now, regarding whether it is centralized, I think that if there is nothing wrong with it, our assets will be even safer when centralized because it will be more difficult for hackers to find a way to enter the platforms which is centralized. Rather than decentralized that is closer to the risk of being hacked by exploitative hackers.
