In my opinion any exchangers out there is becoming like Paypal . We need a decentralized Exchanger and not a website that asks us for our Phone numbers , Bills and ID/Passport verification , where is being "anonymus" , This defeats the whole purpose of Bitcoin to be honest .

~ Madness

The offline wallet is the original "exchanger". If you don't like the additional conveniences that a company like Coinbase provides, don't do business with them...do business the original way by managing your own wallet.

Well that's exactly what I'am doing , I never used an Online wallet/exchanger , and I never will . I prefer trading on forums directly with people using trusted Escrows or whatever . at least I don't have some huge fees , also don't need to provide my real informations to people.

~ Madness

Fees and conversion rate kill trading and any activity.

What are the other alternative aside from Coinbase?
Since from the start I am working around Coinbase already.

If you do not want change and happy with coinbase, why then you want to change.

There are many alternatives to coinbase but coinbase is one of the safest and more trustworthy companies like blockchain.

Can always opt for other exchangers if you are not happy. There are so many out there right now. After all, that are your own coins you are putting in the account.

Like?

Yes, this will be ideal scenario (to receive money without providing personal info or ID) for most users but international money laundry laws are more and more strict each day and I'm afraid that this is not longer possible.
In fact this compromise basic idea behind bitcoin, that our info is protected and secure and all users are anonymous.

Well, many people claim that people do want the safety PayPal gives them. And I concur. I think many people don't care for the freedom Bitcoin offers, they just want an easy-to-use system with which they can pay for something online, unfortunately. You have to keep in mind that we're some sort of perfectionists or people who have an agenda - Bitcoin replacing old systems.
