Except for Binance, I don't trust or recommend any other exchanges as hitbtc, even though I could withdraw easily last month, it is shady when it comes to big amounts and requires KYC while my account did not need it for small amounts. Kucoin is another option while Huobi was much better than Kucoin. I used both and both seem good as of now.
Kucoin is my second option next to Binance when it comes on having no KYC.I don't mind too much yet I'm aint able to reach up my limit 2btc per day since im only a small time trader.For Hitbtc?Its never been included into my option.

If you happen to be a bounty hunter for which the tokens were only listed on HitBTC that's when you consider using it. So far I have no issue with HITBTC. Though I feel like they will be asking for KYC in the future even with a limit of less than 2BTC. The network of DEX are getting many which may solve the volatility so those who are avoiding KYC will probably just stick to these DEX.

Just switch over to DEXes because as stated earlier, most exchanges will start to require KYC.

There are DEXes such as BlockDX and NebliDex where you can trade Bitcoin for various altcoins. NebliDex even has an Ethereum market.

I recently started using Kucoin, and the only thing they required was my phone number for SMS verifications, but not full KYC documents—and I’m fine with that, because I have yet to sign up on an exchange that needs all of my dox.  They’re pretty good, too, as far as speed of transactions and I’ve had no problems with getting my funds off the exchange and into my wallet.
You can use Kucoin without phone number as well, email and 2FA confirmation. However, they also have the limitation of 2 BTC per 24 hours for non-verified users. About the speed of transactions, I have never seen such faster withdraw in other exchange, I usually get almost instantly.

I believe Binance doesn't really have any KYC, however they don't really mess with fiat which is the main reason for KYC to begin with. Anything legit exchange that involves fiat will have extensive verification, as required by the law. Usually if you want to mess with crypto you are going to have to deal with this at some point or another, unless you want to get raped by fees.

You know that binance can be used without any KYC until you reach 2 BTC withdrawal limit, right?

It is pretty secure exchange, so I think you should use it until you reach your limit, and only then try those shady exchanges mentioned in this topic.
That's a 2 edged blade. I've personally heard cases of a Binance account being frozen when you deposit a fair amount of money (1-2BTC), and forcing you to verify your identity to complete your withdraw. I googled it and found a couple articles (read with a grain of salt)

https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2018/07/50000-locked-on-binance-exchange-will-never-gain-access-redditor-says/

And yes, Kucoin and Binance both have 2 BTC limits for cryptocurrency trades. They do not offer fiat support with an unverified account though, keep in mind. If you want to buy a fair amount of BTC with no ID, use paxful, as I believe there to be no id requirements for accounts with values under 1,500 USD. P2P platforms are also good, but LBC is constantly downgrading their service (KYC updates, Removal of cash trades).

It's only a matter of time before all reputable exchanges require verification before you can do anything there. Based on that I would choose a reputable exchange and verify yourself there so that you avoid problems in the future.

It never feels good to hand over your government issued ID, regardless of the company, but in this specific case there isn't much of a choice if you want to use the most reputable exchanges and not some Yobit level garbage exchanges.

Currently Binance and to some degree Kucoin seem to favor people who don't want to deal with KYC, but as some people above pointed out, there are no guarantees that their policies will not change so be careful.

I recently started using Kucoin, and the only thing they required was my phone number for SMS verifications, but not full KYC documents—and I’m fine with that, because I have yet to sign up on an exchange that needs all of my dox.  They’re pretty good, too, as far as speed of transactions and I’ve had no problems with getting my funds off the exchange and into my wallet.

There are so many exchanges in existence that I only have experience with a tiny amount of them.  Poloniex didn’t need my full KYC dox, though I did link my bank account to them (but haven’t used that function yet, because it requires wired funds). 
I don’t know if you’re able to join Polo without KYC nowadays or not.

Then there’s always Yobit, which probably has the fewest identity requirements out of all the exchanges I’ve used.  Obviously be very careful dealing with them, because they’re shady.  But they do have a ton of altcoins listed, so you probably could find any obscure ones you’re looking for.

Lastly, I’ve used some of the “instant exchanges” like Changelly, Flyp.me, ChangeNow, and Coinswitch and have only had a real problem with Changelly—but that issue was resolved after I started a scam accusation against them.  None of them require KYC, and Flyp.me touts itself as being “accountless”.

then there was Binance that changed the rules and enforced it.

Binance's .com platform still allows you to freely withdraw funds worth 2BTC per day. It's their Binance Jersey (fiat) platform that requires people to walk themselves through AML/KYC verification.

I do have to point out that any exchange that still allows people to withdraw funds without AML/KYC, could stop offering you that privilege tomorrow if it wanted, and your funds will be stuck inside until you submit your personal information and whatnot. In other words, the risk is there that these exchanges will turn into the next Bittrex and Poloniex. Undecided

It's important to make a rational decision before you sign up to an exchange just for the sake of not having to deal with AML/KYC; do you really want X or Y exchange to have a copy of your ID or passport in case you are locked out and forced to do provide it to them? If not, then definitely skip it.

It's 2019, it's hard to find central platforms without verifying your identity. It's like banks.
Even if there is a platform, there is no guarantee of changing the rules at any time.

It is a pretty secure exchange, so I think you should use it until you reach your limit, and only then try those shady exchanges mentioned in this topic.
What is the guarantee that they will not change those limits to 1BTC, especially if the price rises, "I think they are going to put the limit at $ 20,000."
Best to do this through this forum.

According to this list, there is ByBit, TUXexchange, Crypto-Bridge and Altilly. I've never heard or used any of them personally, so I can't give any reviews. Alternatively, you could use BISQ but there might be some limitations when it comes to the supported coins and liquidity.
Crypto Bridge is crap exchange. I tried two times and ended exiting it. As far as I know, there's no good centralized exchange which can be used without limit. However, ABCC exchange limit is $10k without verification.

Where is my ring of blades...
I am looking for centralized exchanges that don't require KYC at all, not just for smaller volumes or certain conditions,... and I seem to have a hard time finding any!
there was Bittrex that scammed. then there was Binance that changed the rules and enforced it.
there were also small exchanges like c-cex that died, Yobit which is pure crap and cryptopia which again died!
