Crypto transactions experiences

As security and privacy aware people, what apps or websites do you use for crypto buy/sell/send.
Is there an app that covers all of above.

Trust Wallet will do all of that, and has a fairly solid reputation. You can even download the APK from them directly, outside of the Google store.

Once you have a significant amount though, I'd recommend splitting it over multiple wallets.

For storage: Any trustworthy hardware wallet like Trezor or Bitbox. Don't hold coins for a long time on any custodial or hot wallet as that heavily impacts your security.

For buying or selling: That depends on your needs. There are Bitcoin only providers in Switzerland for example like pocketbitcoin or relai which have a very good reputation. For other coins you can go to one of the famous big platforms such as binance.

If you want/need to buy without KYC process, check out https://kycnot.me, but be aware that this will complicate things down the line when you want to sell your coins as many vendors need you to prove to them how you bought your coins and from where.

In the EU there is a regulation that from 2025 onwards vendors will have to identify you (research MICA for details). Only P2P platforms will remain untouched by then.

wow, I didn't realize how far downhill crypto has gone, I still have a little bit of monero I've been sitting on for a long time but other than that it seems they have really taken away any advantages of wanting to use bitcoin as currency

Bitcoin is not a currency. At best it is a numbered bank account whose transaction logs are publicity published in full.

Monero is a currency and actually has use cases.

Bitcoin is, on a daily basis, nothing more than a financial instrument untethered from reality. People buy it on the expectation that it will go up in value, despite the fact that there is literally no use case for it. A bank wire is a cheaper, faster, more private, more secure means of moving legal money for legal transactions. Using Bitcoin for legally questionable transactions is idiotic given that you are creating an immutable public ledger of the transaction and its entire history.
