anyone who forces KYC on nostriches is not genuine to me
Discussion
Isn’t KYC a current requirement of running his business in the USA? It’s going to be pretty tough getting a ton of adoption if it’s not through KYC channels (Coinbase, et al). Very few new adopters have the insight, knowledge, or even desire to acquire btc outside of “the system”.
yes, yes it is.
bad business model.
There are many bitcoin businesses world wide including the USA that don't depend on KYC.
He is not one of us.
You can "buy" bitcoin with Strike without kyc though, by sending dollars to your own lightning invoices. It's the only kyc app that can do this afaik.
ok and how do you get those dollars sent into your own lightning invoices?
Question is, is he encouraging self custody? I think he is.
I hate kyc with a passion. I do think if Jack could operate without kyc with his business model he would. In fact, I think most businesses would ditch kyc in an instant.
Its a framework being crammed down the throat of everyone by the OECD on behalf of big gov compliance cucks.
thats no excuse.
I would much rather use something like bisq.network, decentralized, pseudonymous, free, instead of helping some rich Jack Mallers get even more rich off fellow nostriches trying to make an honest living.
SNAKE OIL
Heck ill even pay the 12% fee at the anonymous Bitcoin ATMs where I can deposit paper cash. Fuck Mallers!
Yeah im with you 100%.
Bitcoin is for everyone however, including my mother who is not tech savvy at the least, and merchants who just want to operate legally and now shale the boat.
Its great that there's Bisq. Its great that there is strike. Heck its great that there's saylors strategy (MAJOR PUKE 🤮).
Bitcoin is for everyone, all types.
Not rock the boat*
