What's a wallet that doesn't try to get my phone number that I can easily deposit cash monies for bitcoin at an ATM or something? Coinbase is sketching me out with the weird phone number collection thing half all internet apps seem to do these days

To preface, I'm just trying to buy 1000s of dollars in bitcoins so I can retire nicely when they inevitably approach infinity dollars per coin. Naturally, I don't want "big wallet" all up in my business selling my phone number to telemarketers and databrokers

After asking around, I hear electrum is pretty decent for bitcoining without linking your literal bank account and phone numbers to every transaction. A lot of the cash>BC ATMs in the city I live in can do a transaction with just a QR code for your public key address so I am going to try to figure out that route and start socking away my bit pennies for retirement!

Imagine wanting to buy Bitcoin "so I can retire nicely" half a year after the hype has completely died out. You're better off buying a timeshare.

all my other retirement funds are tied up in Kentucky derby outcome futures
