In terms of centralized exchanges do you think it would be better to use ones not based in the US now?
I'm thinking of avoiding Kraken and Coinbase completely now and just using ones not based in US such as Binance, Kucoin, Huobi.
Btw I'm not personally a US citizen and the KYC rules and regulation on transactions the US government doing seem like a huge hassle now, so would be good to avoid that.
for those who are not American citizens better to use another exchange. But for those who live and have an American passport, there is no option. they must follow the applicable regulations. as long as crypto trading has not been banned, I don't think the KYC issue is an important focus. after all the exchange there has a good level of security.
and the level of trading volume is also a consideration. US-based exchanges have a large volume. so users don't have to worry about this. If i'm an American, I prefer to stick with an exchange like Coinbase or Kraken. than using another exchange.
