From today you cannot use accounts without ID verification on Coinbase but for buying or sending out coins.
Over the next few weeks, we will be rolling out improvements to your Coinbase account that will increase your buy and sell limits. We are introducing Account Levels to make it faster and easier to get started using Coinbase.
Using Account Levels, you will be able buy up to $25,000 a day with your bank, have immediate access to trading your digital currency purchases, and sell the full balance of digital currency in your account. We hope that this increased flexibility will result in a better investing experience on Coinbase.
If you are not aware its kind of "bank" for crypto which lets you store and directly (without bidding or using exchange) buy or sell coins. It uses its home exchange GDAX for this.
Markets
It was expected for long time though so no big surprise but on the other hand - LocalBitcoins was home of F2F and P2P trades. From may 25th you wont be able to do trades there without full KYC which makes the service pretty dead.
If you have anything left there and dont want to do KYC, send it out ASAP.

Ive noticed lately that all ramps in and out of crypto have been requiring more and more verufication. I liked the good ol days when crypto was free from identification

Although it was bound to happen but still stings a little. Anonymity in the crypto world is needed to complement the blockchain since it is immutable. I am not saying we were anonymous before but whatever degree of it we had is gradually being whittled.
We need alternate systems out there for fiat to crypto that do tie our hands. I am sure there are some projects but nothing as mainstream as coinbase.

There is bisq which is local bitcoin but decentralized. Pity no web client yet but they are working on it.

Is this why it is unusable?
Every exchange that I tried except from Binance was unusable to me, and Binane may still be unusable for me too, since I did not try to send funds to it.

Kinda, with every buyer you need a seller. In bisq since you have to download the desktop app, not many people trade on it. With the release of bisq online expect the trade volume to go up especially with the new localbitcoin.

What I meant is that it is not even installable at least on Windows 7.
I know I should switch to Linux, but Linux has its own problems.

I don't know, I have an old account that has 2-factor authentication and it has a .4 limit, it used to have a 3 BTC/day limit but they lowered it a while ago.

You won't be able to go to the toilet without AML/KYC soon. Better get used to it. Govs will only tolerate cryptos if they can monitor every transaction in the name of anti-crime/anti-terrorism.
Surveillance is being taken to the next level and technology is the enabler.

KuCoin is starting to implement KYC as well. Kind of defeats the original design of crypto according to Satoshi Nakamoto

I'd say most people use it for the fiat on/off ramp. It's one of the best known and easier portals to cryptos. We can expect the number of new accounts at Coinbase to shoot through the roof again during/after Consensus.

Thanks for reply. You'r right. The main reason is fiat on/off ramp. However, I usually read issues with Coinbase. That's why I asked. I had bad experiences with several exchange website.

Yeah that's true alright. They have plenty of issues for sure. I remembered last year, every time there was something happening on in cryptoworld... you can never get a transaction through coinbase.
Hopefully later this year with all the other projects like BlockPort, Ethos, Robinhood and many others coming on stream, there will be plenty more options for fiat on/off ramps. That will hopefully open up cryptos to its full potential investor market and everything will go to the moon!
