What is Cryptocurrency?

The term "cryptocurrency" describes the encryption techniques that are used to secure the network where they are held. Cryptocurrency is a type of network-based digital asset that can be distributed across a large number of computers. Because the structure is decentralized, cryptocurrency is able to exist outside government control, explains Investopedia.

Cryptocurrency such as KuCoin is touted for its inflation resistance, portability, and transparency. Cryptocurrency is also derided for its exchange rate volatility and tendency to be used for illegal activities.

Why Delete Your KuCoin Account?

Because KuCoin is not allowed to operate in the US, you could get into trouble for using it. If you do use KuCoin, and you are hacked or otherwise lose your money, the FDIC will not cover your losses as they would if your money was lost by a bank within the US.

The Fool explains that American citizens are at risk of having their KuCoin account frozen due to the fact that the government is currently cracking down on unlicensed, unregulated cryptocurrency services such as KuCoin in an effort to prevent tax evasion and money laundering.

How to Delete KuCoin Account On Your Own

A search of the KuCoin website will reveal no clear information about how to close an account.

The website chat-bot suggested an article about how to freeze, not delete, a KuCoin account. A YouTuber named Real Education had some advice that may be worth trying, however.

Not exactly a safe option, but here are the steps outlined:

• First, compose an email to tech support with "Close Account" in the subject line.
• In the body of the email, type your full name along with the reason or reasons you wish to delete your KuCoin account.
• Type in your mobile phone number, KuCoin document number, and date of birth (DOB) to verify you are who you say you are.
• Take an image of your signature in black ink, and attach it to the email.
• Send it, and hope for the best.

If you think it sounds like deleting KuCoin is a complicated process, you're right. There is no guarantee that sending an email request is the right way to delete your KuCoin account PLUS you are putting your personal information at a greater risk by putting it all in one email. Fortunately, there is a better, safer way.
