Based. We are forced to think like criminals in order to preserve privacy and digital sovereignty.

I have used Amethyst but like the interface and functionality of Primal so I have been using that but may have to go back and try Amethyst again. I get the reasoning of no delete but at the same time I wish I had total control over my own notes.

It’s so frustrating when I realize I messed up posting because I can’t edit or delete 😭😭

I tried to tag you but it copied it from your mastodon and truncated so went back to try to find your Nostr ID as this is important is no to share. Sorry for flubbing that up that up!

"The Wolfsberg Group, an association of 12 global banks that aims to develop frameworks and guidance for the management of financial crime risks, has released Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Digital Assets."

It is an ominous foreshadowing of the kind of transactional surveillance that is to come:

- Device IDs
- IP addresses
- Social media information
- Behavioral customer data

Not to mention the impending AI onchain-analysis of Bitcoin's public blockchain.

You cannot have freedom without privacy.

Privacy is not a crime.

You hated him 4 years ago and you still hate him now. I've seen a lot of hate thrown his way, but this guy is a consistent winner and an overachiever. That's what the people who support him love about him. Yes, there have been some scandals, yes there have been some lies. He's out there every day proving his haters wrong time after time. Call it jealously, call it envy, some people just can't handle how successful he is, they could even be jealous that he's had a model as his wife. You may not have wanted him in this role, but he's there now and there is nothing you or I can do about it. I know its possibly going to get worse over the next several weeks, but like him or not, Tom Brady is becoming a good broadcaster...

We need this now more than ever 🫡

I thought we’d have laser guns and hover boards by now. All we have is some ghetto AI and battery cars. So disappointed…

About KYC.

From the standpoint of companies, KYC makes a lot of sense. They don't want to accept money that is (potentially) stolen, linked to money laundering by criminals, terrorism or other bad source of origin.

Plus, their owners are under direct or indirect threat of getting sued or having to serve jail time for not applying KYC.

From the standpoint of consumers however, KYC can be perceived as a disproportional measure- even a psychological humiliation ritual -, designed by bureaucrats, to attack the human right to transact freely and preserve privacy.

KYC policies can also be perceived as inherent evil. Because it is reversing the burden of proof, it intentionally makes everyone a criminal by default, unless one can proof otherwise.

KYC actively attacks human rights activists and whistle blowers from receiving funds so they can fight legal battles or survive when states go rogue.

Reality is, only 1-3% of global trade is linked to crime or money laundering, and in many cases it can directly or indirectly linked to corrupt states.

So, this leaves a sobering reality, that 97% of the global population must suffer, because of a few bad actors. This is in direct attack with the proportionality principle.

Why are we still pretending KYC protects consumers or that it is good practice?

KYC stifles innovation, it hinders the speed in which humans can transact.

KYC is based on fear instead of trust. Its even a business model.

KYC is anti human.

From the standpoint of the state, KYC makes totally sense. Because most states embraced the control system, instead of principles of a free society.

1984 bites, many business owners, including myself, are internally conflicted.

At the same time, nobody really seams to really care.

Problem is, all roads from KYC lead to tyranny because everyone can be controlled.

Fuck.

Good morning by the way.

F*CK KYC

Is BlueSky still a thing?

Apple today reminded developers that the EU trader requirement in the European Union is now being enforced. Developers who distribute apps in the EU will now need to share information that includes address, phone number, and email address on the EU App Store. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/10/17/developers-eu-app-store-trader-requirements/
