Fold Bitcoin Gift Card - Looking for Stackers with personal experience.

I have been resisting going down the KYC path for years.  But it is becoming harder and harder for me to find ways to buy bitcoin efficiently.

I am probably going to make poll post in the near future asking if one had to use a KYC service what would they pick.

Would Fold be your top recommendation for a KYC service to acquire Bitcoin?

I came across this video and got my hopes up that it would be a low friction way to buy Bitcoin.

But looking at folds website https://foldapp.com/redeem it appears you have to sign up and possibly KYC to redeem.

>What would prevent me from redeeming a Fold bitcoin gift card?
    You must sign up for a Fold account, and be verified in order to redeem a bitcoin gift card.
    Fold verified users must be at least 18 years of age.
    Fold verified users must reside in the United States.

# Are the guys in the video misunderstanding what it takes to redeem or is the verification just a check box saying your over 18 and in the USA?
