KYC

For a beginer id say its less kyc vs non kyc, more about how long coins sit there. Swap and pull to your own wallet asap. Non kyc has zero recourse if they vanish, atleast kyc leaves trail.

But my question is specifically for beginners: is a non KYC platform actually safe to start with?

You just need to spot a good one to start with. In comparison, non KYC platforms are easy to use for newbies and can be relied upon for basic learning purposes. To chose a reliable one, in bitcointalk you are in the right place. Their number is insignificant compared to the number of KYC platforms, but they do exist. I would like to suggest you one of the projects running a signature campaign (some of them displayed in the signature space of some users posting here in this thread. Or you can chose one from this list: https://kycnot.me/?categories=exchange

What about Privacy? Why should a beginner gives up part of his privacy just to learn? Your suggestion is the worst imo.

An exchange can also collect your data and also disappear, it does not mean you'll get your money back. And talking about leaving a trail, it actually leaves one for you to be attacked through phishing, or maybe even a $5 wrench attack.

The bottom line is that KYC or NO-KYC does not determine the safety of a platform, that is a privacy issue, which is separate from security. If you want to swap crypto to crypto, then there are a few good NO-KYC platforms you can find in the forum and one of them is just below, in my signature space.

Yes and no.
In terms of privacy and security, non KYC platforms can be safe for beginners to start, but if the beginners don't know a genuine non KYC platform with good service, and can't detect phishing link so the beginners won't be a victim of a phishing attack, etc. I will say that non KYC platform is not safe for beginners.

Maybe which platform is more safe...

The safe non kyc platform so far are uniswap, pancakeSwap, and bisq (but this requires some knowledge).

There are some reputable non-kyc services that are perfectly safe, but not everything with non-kyc label is really non-kyc.
Some exchanges are never asking for verification, while others can sometimes freeze your coins (like fixedfloat) so I would stay away from them.
It's best to check reviews on kycnot.me, bitlist.co, orangefren.com before using any service.
