Kraken sending out emails wanting to know if I self custody? and if I don’t, they want to know the residential address of whom I’m sending #bitcoin  to 🤔

Surveillance over non-custodial wallets is ramping up to an alarming degree. I would be curious to get an expert take on this: what precautions can and should be taken? #asknostr #bitcoin

Yeah I agree, I certainly don’t want the government knowing that I self custody, my first thought is to just ditch kraken as one of my onramps but will all exchanges eventually bend the knee to government regulation and require us to confirm if we self custody or not? if that’s the case then buying bitcoin will become more difficult, I would also like to know what precautions/alternatives there are?

They will have to if they are companies, I think.

Never use centralazie exchanges!!!
