They actively lie to their user base. Claiming they dont track or do chain analysis on their clients but they are a front end for prime trust who 100% does works with a chain analysis (company or they do it in house i'm not exactly sure there.)

Also they KYC. Ill admit that them pushing so hard for self custody is cool but thats about as much slack as ill cut them.

going against core fundamental values as a self-claimed pro-bitcoin company..

really?

Yup and they use technical loopholes and tricky language to claim that they don't track their customers. When I was still on twitter I saw this a lot.

While swann itself technically doesn't track anybody, they are a front end for a large liquidity provider (it was prime trust, now its something else) which they collect the KYC info and pass on to that liquidity provider who 100% does chain analysis. Its just dishonest.

River does KYC too, they all do. I wouldn't use any of them.

Yeah I avoid KYC like the plauge. Robosats, bisq, azteco, or p2p buys for me.
