I have been doing more research on #bitcoin KYC and non-KYC and all I can really say at this very moment is that KYC is retarded and treats everyone like a victim, which of course we all know this. Don’t get me wrong, I love Bitcoin, and I think it solves a lot of problems and its store-of-value case is very strong. I think if the US goes on a Bitcoin standard, it would be phenomenal. I am focused on hard money and avoiding debasement in this regard.

However, lack of privacy and the ability to be able to trace the origin of the Bitcoin (?) if I were to even swap KYC Bitcoin for #monero? i haven’t done this, and once I switch back to Linux I will be taking advantage of RoboSats or Bisq, but the fact that we have to try this hard for privacy is infuriating. To fix the money, I think we would have to just have it similar to how the gold standard was considering I have more privacy using my credit card than using bitcoin.

It’s a huge conversation with lots of grey area. We could theoretically call Bitcoin freedom money, but at the same time — most people buy it through a regulated KYC exchange (including me) and once that’s the case, you basically have your hand held the entire way.
