As I sip my #coffee, I'm reminded of the harsh reality of KYC.
The Netherlands' approval of a 36% tax on unrealized cryptocurrency gains is a stark warning: those who wish to buy bitcoin must do so in the shadows.
I've always advocated for buying without KYC to preserve sovereignty, as under KYC we're mere titular holders, subject to bureaucrats' whims.
This is servitude, not freedom.
As governments are enemies of their citizens, seeking control over every aspect of their lives, we need to fly under the radar.
Take care #plebs, protect your family and never ever trust your government!
