I have some Bitcoin and Ethereum on Coinbase since 2018. Coinbase never failed me, but they ask for more and more personal details. Last requests made me look for alternatives. I read wasabi is one of the best privacy focused wallets, but what do you use? Im not trying to hide anything from goverment or anything like that, I just want safe place for coins that doesnt feel like someone is tracking every single step I make

A hardware wallet like the trezor, or if you want to read a bit into what ledger has been doing one of those (they had a few controversial changes)

This or at least something self-custodial. Anything with Blockchain is inherently public, but the problem with centralized exchanges is that they hold the tokens for you (or worse, Contract For Difference), and really only have a fraction of the true capital to unwind if shit hits the fan.
