Amen!

I get so frustrated by this.

Oh, you want to purchase this car? Please send a copy of your ID, etc.

You want to invest via Platform XYZ?

Upload your ID. It's maddening.

I said this few days ago to Blofin. I did forward them the article on cointelegraph, but your article is splendid. I'll send it to them. Great job 👍

This week on the close order of 16 million cryptocurrencies with over $3.5 trillion in market capitalisation and $62 trillion in annual exchange activity provide meaningful alternatives for people seeking to avoid the theft of inflation. Taxation is also theft. Everyone who has power in appointed or elected office is a parasite. None of them are needed for any purpose. They are wasting our money because they hate us.

Naomi I've been scammed by qfsbond

All my personal info, drivers license.passport, sin # selfy......oh I feel so stupid. I'm trying to gain access to what I sent them so I can wipe it from the page but I know full well that I'm already in trouble. I did not purchase any crypto thank goodness but I'm still in in bad spot. Any advice for me and others?

Thanks for reading this.

Be careful you didn't download anything to your device, and freeze your credit

I fully agree with you that KYC is invasive for privacy, but what can you do about it as an average person if for example you want to open a bank account (or even as a business subject to the law)?

We call it AML, I used to wonder what KYC was.

AML is a total scam. It treats you as guilty until proven otherwise.

Always remember:

1/ you own something ONLY if you can touch/modify it AND it is not visible by anyone else (especially the state).

2/ the very definition of a slave is someone who owns nothing.
