For someone in the USA, is it possible to have:
1) A desktop or online based wallet if you don't have a photo ID.
2) Ability to buy btc without needing to provide ID.
That is scary to someone who has had identity stolen before.
Thanks - please be kind. I am new and still learning. I have not yet bought BTC.
I'm not from USA and someone please correct me if I'm wrong that they are now more strict when it comes to bitcoin transactions. There are exchanges that cut ties and stop supporting users that are living there.
1). Yes it's very possible to have a web wallet / bitcoin wallet that you don't have to verify with any of your ID.
2). Ask someone here in forum that lives nearby to you or you can meet up halfway just to do the trade. See no ID provided.
We are all concerned with the identity theft that's circulating the web since bitcoin is blooming.
