I’ve never used Phoenix so didn’t realize it was non kyc. I’ve seen some debates about whether Strike was KYC or not. Since my name and bank account are tied to Strike I’d say it’s KYC.
Discussion
KYC just means that a centralized entity knows how much Bitcoin you purchased, and knows your identity.
Strike, Kraken, Coinbase, CashApp, all KYC’d.
Non-KYC means you acquired the Bitcoin without relying on a third party who has your identifying information. That could be a cash exchange peer to peer, or a fiat payment over RoboSats, or home mining, or getting paid in Bitcoin.
Hope this helps 🤙
