Ok, so yeet another noob...on the verge of launching myself into the zone, wanting to buy some bitcoin but wondering how secure one needs to be in all this process? As far as I understand, if one buys bitcoin online through something like bittlylicious one has to give an id , bank account, passport, whatever. How then does one process to make purchases with bitcoin funds which are linked to ones verified ID? The only way I have come across to get bitcoin with no compromise then is via an ATM. What do you peeps think? Also, can somebody advise when using this forum once should use a VPN? many thanks
