Wow, some valid points here.

Good to know I'm not the only one who's having thoughts like that.





The chicken example is spot on btw



But, if there's such a bad taste when it comes to KYC, how come the majority of traders still use them? There are many alternative exchanges that don't require KYC (yet).
So this makes me think, the majority does not give a crap about their privacy as long as there is some volume on these exchanges to play with?

I get it though, if you trade on bittrex,binance or whatever, you are not easily moving to another exchange. But isn't that a bit "dangerous" as well? I mean, where's the line here in what exchanges ask, and will ask from from us in the future?

I think we can be certain, this is only the start of "regulating" crypto. So when will this go too far/stop? When they ask fingerprints for login systems?  


I'm aware of the positive sides of regulation. But lately, it looks like the regulations are going through the roof, and we just follow along like a headless chicken. That's what worries me on the long term. Are the masses agreeing to these regulations too easily maybe?


edit:

There's too much to quote from everyone, and to respond to it. But thank you all for replying and giving your inputs/thoughts on this matter.

Hi all!

Am I the only one who feels the current Bitcoin/Crypto climate is going to shit? When I got into Bitcoin in 2013, this was the true new wild west so to speak. So what happend in the last 5-6 years?

Governments are trying to take back control with regulations and taxes.
Exchanges requiring ID (KYC) etc. (hahahahaha fail)
Developers are requested to make themselves public
Previously rather unknown people. but with success in crypto, are for some reason seen as some sort of "Messiah" (binance dev for example)
etc.
etc.
etc.



So why the hell.... Do we (community) go along with all that crap?

And IMHO, if you are happy with the current climate, you should not be in crypto at all!

Or have I smoked one too many? This is not what Satoshi wanted/meant when he created Bitcoin right?


Have a good one,
Towelie

My apologies, we should have started with a form for that in the first place.

Well thats a nice list... Im glad I held on to my coins..

If you need help with something in the code.. Just pm me!

Goodluck with the takeover everyone!

who said I all buy on ICO? half ico, half dump, and staking many for weeks to cut loss
but still big loss. but crypto is risk. you win and lose

that was me dumping at big loss. needed money 
still have more to exit

what pascal stand for? developer name?

i remember this from mintpal  pump of the year

walletbuilders coin

pathetic

Thank you trumpers..! Earned some good cash here....

Exactly


Thank you.

Not sure if you are the developer yourself, but at least this answer proves some sourcecode knowlegde 
Sorry for the trickyness.

Goodluck with the project.

Does this mean you think the max amount of coins will be 11000000?
https://github.com/FRN-Crypto/FRN/blob/master/src/main.h#L59
https://github.com/FRN-Crypto/FRN/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L1094-L1096

That is not what that line in main.h is about  

Is this still going on? Don't tell me people are really swapping 

Thank you for clearing that up. This leaves c-cex to blame. No matter what "special rules" applied. It is their fault to put that many trust in 1 guy. They could have know when he cancelled the trading bot deal

Also every investor on this coin, I hope you are full of shame believing this bulshit

Was phase one even on c-cex? I remember this guy cleaned out the bitcoin address posted in the OP the second day of this thread. Just sayin
