God bless Hester Peirce for even bringing this up, something that random people have been talking for few years now.
That KYC verification must go, enough is enough.
No one will look after the bitcoiners except her. Its not for nothing that shes crypto-mom.
You can't say because you want to know who controls a Bitcoin address and not care about the dangers that comes with that.
Tell that to the regulators, who couldn't care less about the risks to bitcoiners. The main thing is that they pay taxes (on this crypto) and keep quiet.
Home invasion, Wrench attacks are growing up and it's looking like crypto chart 📈 ready to slowly keeps climbing.
Of course, that is exactly how it will play out. After all, the regulator is quick to impose obligations on crypto-users but in no rush to protect them. Look at any bill related to crypto-market regulation: it will primarily focus on restrictions for crypto-users and taxation issues, rather than the protection of their rights, freedoms, and lives.
This is the best thing that I have read online this year so far, finally someone in power sees it.
Or perhaps he just wanted to generate some hype around the issue. People like that never do anything selflessly. Still, it is a good thing that the matter might now be brought up for discussion at a different level.
In the future hackers will prefer to look for data to go after people who holds Bitcoin,
This is not a joke, if you think it's impossible wait till Bitcoin reach 400k and counting.
The more valuable Bitcoin becomes and more it endagers your life.
Absolutely correct.
During the next bull run (and subsequent ones), when the price of bitcoin turns heads, we will frequently hear stories like these (stories that are unpleasant for
BTC-holders).
KYC needs to Go.....
However, that is hard to believe. The regulator would sooner sacrifice citizens' wallets and lives to predators than relinquish its power over them - a power manifested in the control of financial flows (
BTC-addresses with KYC).
