⚡️🚨 NEW - BIS economists propose banning any crypto that has passed through a wallet without KYC to encourage a culture of self-surveillance.

A paper from the Bank for International Settlements proposes a new approach to "anti-money laundering compliance for cryptoassets".

The economists suggest leveraging the "provenance and history of any particular unit or balance of a crypto asset" to implement a risk rating system with entry and exit ramps that would exclude any asset that has ever transited through a wallet without KYC from being accepted by regulated entities.

This is why they fear circular economies emerging. They remove the need for “cashing out”. Self custody is only half of the solution. The other is spending your Bitcoin in a p2p manner.

If the can block certain coins, is BTC fungible?

Just transact peer to peer with no middleman. That means definitely not using an exchange or other custodian.

They really are evil. Also stupid - but mostly evil!

Come on programmers, you are our last hope. Turn this into a lonely sidewalk gate.

"Anti-money laundering" really means "your money is not really yours".
