It's not really the privacy issue for me as I intend to stay within the law (as much as I despise taxes, I'm not willing to go to jail over them). My issue is that I am not risking my sensitive information with an exchange. Data breaches can and do occur and the last thing I need is to be bogged down by federal and state bureaucracy to fix the issue, protect my identity and fix any damage to my credit score.

There’s a good chance your info already leaked many times.
WTH are you talking about? I’m state side and haven’t had any of this trouble… cold storage if your scared about KYC, and if you staying within taxable laws then why worry about KYC? Purchasing btc has NEVER impacted a credit score or made my identity anymore less secure than using your face to login to phone 🤔✌️🤝
