Are there any alternatives to verifying Coinbase without providing my SSN?

  I totally understand your concern about providing your SSN. Unfortunately, Coinbase requires SSN verification as part of their KYC (Know Your Customer) process. This is to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and prevent fraud. If you're uncomfortable with providing your SSN, you may want to consider using alternative cryptocurrency exchanges that have less stringent verification requirements.

  Yeah, I get it. Giving out your SSN can be nerve-wracking. But Coinbase is a reputable exchange and they have strict security measures in place to protect your personal information. If you're still not comfortable, you can try using a peer-to-peer exchange like LocalBitcoins or Bisq. These platforms allow you to buy and sell Bitcoin without going through a centralized exchange that requires SSN verification.
