Hello all,my friends. I think it's time to hear the opinion of the whole forum on this topic. Look what way bitcoin has gone from the beginning of its creation and to the present time. It has gone through everything: the fall, the rise, the hype, the huge theft, disappearing exchanges. But it still holds on and lives. And it holds on you and me as well. And it will live on.
I started reading this forum, when I was a student, and I read Satoshi's last post, but I decided to invest only some years later.
It's a great tool that gives you freedom, and everybody needs it.
But lately they little by little deprive us of this freedom, introducing passport photo, face and whatever else they want at registration on exchanges.
In my opinion, this contradicts all the principles that Satoshi promoted.
Bitcoin should be a tool of freedom and no state should control it.
They want to tax it and they want to control everything and they won't allow money to flow out of their economy.
It pains me that this is coming, but no one can do anything about it.
So I want to ask your opinion.
What do you think will be the fate of bitcoin in the future?
Bitcoin is still free, the ones that are being forced to do all of those changes are exchanges, and if you do not agree with the way they do things then the solution is obvious you need to stay away from all exchanges which have decided to compromise with the governments and ask for that information, you can still buy bitcoin without going through KYC policies but you will need to pay a premium for the privilege or you could just do some jobs online and get bitcoin in return.
