This is a remarkably dumb post for obvious reasons.

Your wife nor mortgage company would see anything related to "gambling". Do you even buy on coinbase bro?

If you don't want to verify on coinbase I have a simple solution for you...don't use their service!!!

You have no right to use their service without following their terms.

Sorry, I think perhaps I didn't explain this clearly enough.

If your argument was 'why use bitcoin?', then the answer could be 'because spouse or credit analyst will see card payments'.
If your argument was 'why not verify?', the answer could be 'identity theft.'
If you believe they will sell your info to 3rd parties, then you can add 'credit analyst', to the 'why not verify?' list.
If you have to give your ID to multiple companies then there are multiple points of failure, where it can get stolen and you become a victim of fraud.

Some people don't want to give up their private data to the likes of Facebook/Cambridge Analytica or Coinbase.
Do you know which 3rd party they will share it with? No because they will sell it to Cambridge Analytica (or similar) without your consent and without telling you.
A lot of people are scared of even just using their credit card online. They don't want to be a victim of fraud. This is understandable.

Now imagine going out to a coffee shop, you buy a cup of coffee or a bar of chocolate with cash, and the barista says: 'now show me your passport'. Ridiculous right?
Also I don't think I've ever had to show ID at a bureau de change using cash, when changing one currency into another currency.

But even if you disregard/disagree with all that - think about this:
Bitcoin is a permanent ledger of transactions - no criminal in their right mind would ever use it. It would be a stupid thing to do. Every transaction is a public record, that anyone can see, it is not anonymous.

No, I don't live in the USA, so I don't have the problems some of you guys do. If I want to play poker I just use a credit card on a major poker site.
But I was considering playing Seals with clubs, or Virtue poker, just for the fun of it. Seals has loads of different poker variants
And was more generally thinking of future poker sites, and if they could bring back a whole world of players. Seems like there is some potential.
Also I rather like the idea of not having to risk my credit card details on a new poker site.

How so? If I want to open a bank account I'll need to provide them with some ID. You're using some funnymoney gimmick that is doing the same thing. You wouldn't post here if you got asked for ID if opening a bank account, how is this any different?

Your question was "what does this have to do with internet poker?". That was your original question. I point out how dumb of a question it is and you respond with this?? Do you even know what planet you're on? You literally cannot read and write.

That you're asking the 2nd question means you certainly know the answer to the 1st. LOL.

If you want to talk about crypto you'd probably get better responses here. Apart from unregulated US-facing sites it's not got much to do with internet poker.

...each time I want to send bitcoin. Is there another wallet that does not have such stringent security requirements? Thanks in advance.
