we just launched our own KYC program now that we have our own licenses KYC is obviously not ideal but given the rules we have to follow I think people are really gonna appreciate it. i’ll be blogging about it soon, coincides with more global announcements

KYC no bueno. God bless Robosats Ironically enough it’s all Strike for US trade on there lol one day we shall have better methods of stacking uncucked sats but in the meantime we do what we can
Absolutely Yo! Do what needs to be done for Strike to succeed. The more people onboarded faster the better. Moots have a hard time following this. Without the customers who want KYC, yes plebs you read that correctly, bitcoin will struggle to gain widespread adoption.
All bitcoin tools worth considering are decentralised, open-source, non-KYC. At least the most useful ones and the ones which will last a very long time.
I would guess it comes down to trying to build a company with all the regulatory hurdles instead of building a FOSS project.
And don't get me wrong, both are probably needed to get where we want to go collectively. But only one of those routes will go very very far in the grand scheme of things.
