Kraken was my first experience with an exchange. It was there that I bought my first sats (and unfortunately my first shitcoins as well) and that I discovered the world of cryptocurrency in general.
Since Jesse stepped down it has been nothing but downfall for once such a great company.
They recently made a "strategic partnership" in Germany which basically meant re-doing a new KYC process with even more details needeed. That was it for me, since then I switched to strike (npub1ex7…vyt9) and haven't looked back.
Now they even made the Lightning Network unavailable for German customers 😞 (https://decrypt.co/249436/kraken-germany-lightning-network). GM
