Of course, I get it, but the point of this thread, which Ive already updated, is that were no longer enjoying the same privacy and freedom we had in the past. Im sure youve been around longer than me, and if you remember, back in 2016, KYC wasnt strictly enforced on exchanges and casinos. Now, its become a big issue, with some platforms even using it to scam people. Things have really changed, though Bitcoins system has stayed the same.
Sometimes we have more privacy, and sometimes we have less privacy. I believe governments can change too and in many nations, citizens can use their votes for forcing governments to change. If governments don't change, they will be voted out by citizens.
It's big issue and barrier for Bitcoin and users in future but we see how Bitcoin Spot ETFs were approved in the USA. after more than 10 years of first application. Was Gensler and SEC proactively with their approvals and did they feel happy with their approvals?
We can see clearly in the announcement letter of Gensler, that he was not happy about that, but he was forced to approve Bitcoin Spot ETFs. Privacy is harder to achieve than Bitcoin Spot ETFs, but I don't think it is impossible to have in future.
