I have an old account with TD Ameritrade - and money leftover in that account - and mistakenly believed I could buy crypto. What's a safe platform (understanding that "safe" is a relative term) to make a purchase?
Is Coinbase the consensus platform?
Something else?
At this point it is going to be impossible to avoid anything connected to the power structure. Get in, get your bitcoin, get it off to a private wallet. If you want it to not be traceable to you, you're going to have to jump through a lot more hoops for that which is beyond this post here.
