FYI, saw your video earlier on Kucoin and KYC and wanted to mention to anyone that’s thinking of completing it… unless you want to provide anyone in the future with all your past transactions I would set up a completely new account and KYC on that, so they don’t have access to any previous transactions. I may even go a step further and set up completely new external wallet for any crypto that I’d be doing any transfers with them so they can’t link it to the old account too…).
Might be being paranoid but it seems like change is on the horizen and I think it’s wise to CYA as much as possible.
Thanks!

pros and cons to both, but losing the anon factor, might as well set up a fresh account with KYC instead of linking years of history to all of your personal information. really disappointed in kucoins latest move.

I’ve been thinking about it too, especially with all the changes in crypto lately. I did something similar recently where I set up a brand-new account and wallet when signing up for an exchange just to keep things separate. It feels a bit like overkill, but with the way the market’s shifting, I’m starting to feel it’s better to be safe than sorry. I also found some AI tools, like the ones at extractor.live, that help with securing transactions and making sure your data stays more private. Not sure if it’s paranoid, but I’d rather be cautious than have to deal with potential fallout later.
