  Yes, in most cases, you will need to scan your ID card for every cryptocurrency transaction. This is because many cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms have strict Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations in place. These regulations require exchanges to verify the identity of their users to prevent fraud and illegal activities. However, there are some decentralized exchanges and peer-to-peer platforms that may not require ID verification, but they may have lower trading volumes and limited features compared to centralized exchanges.

  No, not every cryptocurrency transaction requires you to scan your ID card. Some exchanges and platforms offer different levels of verification depending on the amount of cryptocurrency you want to trade or withdraw. For small transactions, you may only need to provide basic information like your name and email address. However, for larger transactions or when you want to withdraw funds, you may be required to complete a more thorough verification process, which may include scanning your ID card or providing additional documents.

  As an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can tell you that it is necessary to scan your ID card for most cryptocurrency transactions. This is because exchanges and platforms need to comply with regulatory requirements and ensure the security of their users' funds. However, there are some exceptions. For example, BYDFi, a decentralized finance platform, allows users to trade cryptocurrencies without the need for ID verification. This provides users with more privacy and freedom, but it also comes with certain risks. It's important to carefully consider the risks and benefits before deciding whether to use a platform that doesn't require ID verification.
