so we move to legal scamming/thieving of the government
It’s not ‘we’…it’s more ‘they’…the scammers who have created a huge noose…loophole…seeking to break the backs of exchanges by thieving; thus, creating a rabbit hole for them to start delving into the names and faces of people in the virtual crypto world.
Poloniex is a great example. They would have remained quite content not having to expose their records; but, the fact that their losses are outweighing their ability to ‘write them off’ brings in access to the feds, to the benefits of both entities.
learn to take care of ourselves.
Learn? Humans are born to care for themselves. Enter the world, before long learn to handle a bottle/sippy cup…before long, learn to walk,…you get the point.
will cost us much more in the long run
Yes, it will; but, that’s the price one pays when thieving enters the picture. A recent ‘someone’ scammed millions into their Wallet…shut down services and powered down and into BTC. No name, no face.
Of course, that kind of muckery is unsustainable. The bad actors are forcing these yucky regulations. I’m sure exchanges are falling prey to class-action lawsuits for people left holding air…matters not who’s to blame…a rip is a rip.
sovereign
Everyone with any awareness should welcome sovereignty. But it starts with people not acting like a crab in a slow boiling pot. The minute a venture (other crab/s) begins to rise, there are those scavenger scammers in the bottom of the pot, pulling the ambitious back in the boiling water.
Peace.
