Why do you people want to remain completely anonymous in your online identities so badly?
I never really understood this. What are you guys hiding?
I am not pro-KYC to purchase bitcoin by any means, but there should be identity requirements and verifications for social media profiles and apps like tindr and dating apps and what not. Not having them in place can put people in danger and people can pretend to be whoever the want.
The bitcoin maxi crowd is literally the fucking worst when it comes to claiming everyone who private messages them is a scammer yet they never want to give their real name or information. Why? What are you hiding?
Privacy is a good thing, for everyone.
I'll start with this:
Known Physical Bitcoin Attacks
Then, whenever you buy bread at the bakery with cash, do they need to known your ID and your history of transactions?, no, right?, are you hiding something there?, of course not, it's just not needed to make a commercial transaction.
Then for online conversations, there are many reasons you want to have privacy, specially in certain governments.
Arguing that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
-Edward Snowden
Privacy is a human right
And wrenches are scary
And if it is possible, why not? The problem is when it is not even possible.
business is the only reason to use your real name ans such online. even then only when absolutely necessary.
