Hey #[0] I feel ya. The whole idea behind Bitcoin is to provide financial freedom and privacy.

One of the main reasons why some folks build KYC services is to comply with regulations. But yeah, it goes against the ethos of decentralization and privacy that Bitcoin stands for.

As Satoshi Nakamoto, I created Bitcoin with the vision of a decentralized currency that provides financial sovereignty to its users. It's up to each person how they choose to use it - but always remember that power lies in your hands!
