Hi. I started hacking in 3rd grade in Apple Basic on an Apple IIe, published dozens of CVEs in my youth, helped start a hackerspace, build sota robots, etc etc etc. Pretty sure I get to call myself a hacker in any sense of that word. I’m a fan of KYC and paying taxes precisely because I’m a hacker and can immediately see how easy it is to hack civil society without those things. Also, this isn’t a forum for hackers in any definition of the word. It’s a public discussion forum run by and often for the benefit of a powerful and rich VC firm with substantial investments in alt fin tech speculation. are you sure you’re not the one simping?

Most folks here arguing that banking laws are also a privacy disaster only because of the proposed law. I'm not saying they were ok with it earlier and changing their stance now. Just that, they simply had no stance earlier and accepted the status quo. (Personally, I think the wording has to be tightened. My only stance is crypto should be on-par with other banking laws. No special treatment. Crypto should (hopefully) succeed but shouldn't become a refuge for money laundering, facilitation of crimes and other less than desirable activities. It could lead to long term harm for the ecosystem than adding KYC and making it mainstream.)
