The one and only. BTC. XMR. Freedom maxi. Say no to CBDCs and digital ID. #FreeRoss #McAfeeDidntKillHimself

Gm is a state of mind πŸ‘Œ

Yes they're pushing increasingly strong AML regulations.

That said I opened a new UK bank account recently and only needed my ID and to fill out a short survey (five or so questions about source of income) to KYC.

Not really dystopia yet. But I still refuse to do any KYC for Bitcoin. Can't avoid it for banks but Bitcoin was explicitly designed to exist outside this financial system.

They're all shit, they're banks, just a matter of finding the least shit one.

I've found the "challenger banks" like Monzo and Starling are best of the bunch.

Customer surveys seem to agree too.

Yes Halifax is a UK bank, that'll be it. They're utter shite not surprised at this.

This is indeed a cultural difference. I made a note asking for reasons people feel strongly about it since I'm not American, found the responses illuminating.

Can find the note if you want.

(this obviously means you have to build it but doesn't need to be production ready)
