I’ve seen it said many more than one time. Said again this am.

I’m kind of done with them. Humored for a while. Now not so much.

I get “bad actor” vibes and my vibes are usually correct. At least for me.

I agree, the whole constant no kyc thing is ridiculous. Nearly everybody is using kyc and dealing with that is reality 🤷‍♂️

I end up buying most my sats KYCd from Cash App recently, but I immediately withdraw to LN and eventually back on chain, if I really want some more obfuscation I guess there are the Sparrow Whirlpools and withdraws to a separate wallet from my main stack.

I'm a shitty bitcoiner I guess 🤷

The most important thing to me is making sure I don't entrust some regulated entity to hold my sats. As if they are forced to, it's no different than a bank.

At least in control of my keys I have options.

And if the government really wants my shit. I guess. I've got "arms".

There's a saying about a doorstep 😂

There’s also another saying: “no arms no cookies”

Cookies by mail too.

I think I know the note you’re referring to, lame if you ask me

This confuses me. What do you mean by "no-KYC shitheads"?

Let them come out. They are here.

Shitcoiner vibes. Scammers.

This bull run will be scam central.

I got that bit.

I'm wondering who "they" are.

Are you referring to people who preach no-KYC only or something?

lol am i a bad actor for preaching the correct use of #bitcoin noKYC? That's right?

You are free to continue shopping on binance, good luck 🤙

nostr:npub1um8xz4pjtd2wd8y50rzxeufgfcyn77gwvk9k5u8emahw6f67x3zqmnzp4e I'm curious to know your opinion: no one can see into the future, but what do you think the repercussions for owning only KYC Bitcoin may be?

The government can confiscate your bitcoin, as has happened with gold, it can invent an absurd law and charge you an absurd tax. Your exchange can be hacked and your data leaked and you become a target, all these events have already happened in history, just research.

Stay safe. 🫂

Thanks for the response! 😎🙏

The Trudeau gov't did exactly this during the convoy protests.

I'm not sure if they had the coins on a third party service, or if they were coerced into giving up the keys or what, but it happened.

Perfect, you don't have to go far back in history to find examples.

Was that a KYC issue or a lack of cold storage? Wouldn't they have to outlaw it for everyone but themselves? They will no doubt need it to compete with the countries that are early adopters.

KYC

Not a good argument. The government can just put you in prison until you give up your keys. So, from the user's perspective, you are swapping scat with shit.

See Silk Road for reference.
