I'm currently trying to get a new bank account up and running. I, unfortunately, need it to do some things on the fiat rails.

After using Bitcoin on a daily basis, I forgot how cumbersome it is. You need KYC for every fucking thing. They want to take an AI recording of your voice, so that they can verify it if you call in with an issue, or request. WTF?!

I declined.

With Bitcoin, I don't need an ID, SSN, or ask for permission.
