I don't go to Bitcoin conferences, but I have some questions.
What do they tell a newbie who decided to buy Bitcoin? Get yourself KYC'd here or there and buy?! But we hope you know that from that moment you become a target...
Robosats? There are vendors there that will give you headaches because they're registered crypto sellers. In more than one instance, I looked into my bank account, and the payments showed "crypto"; my bank knew about them even if we're in different countries. And giving them your name and bank account is more than enough.
"Buy from me" isn't a solution because I don't know who the fuck "you" are.
While I could keep giving examples, for me, the biggest issue is the inability to buy anonymously. And buying means for a few bucks, someone who wants to buy a whole coin is out of the question right now.
