Theymos, when KYC will be introduced?

[Doan9269]

In this regard, the entire crypto-community has the following question:

When have you becomes the public relation officer of the entire bitcointalk members, why can you include everyone making this kind of demand, isn't it better that you make you a thing of your personal approach than general one, afteral I don't see the reason why you created this thread as being genuine enough to still remains open for comments, it's better you lock it before the moderator does so, if you have any comments to make, why not go to the main thread to comment there.

Again trolling us to make it look like Bitcoin and the forum of Bitcoin look deceptive among everyone who are active here. He sometimes comes up with self edited screenshot of transactions to prove his faketoshi BSV is faster than Bitcoin. When that didn't works he comes up with a topic on decentralisation and centralisation. When that even didn't work he came up with this topic. This guys is either high on weed or on drug or he may be paid by faketoshi with his penny coin. Let's enjoy his opinion when he knows his coin doesn't have its own self hosted forum

there will be no KYC.

KYC is being introduced in the forum—are you kidding me?

Are you sure? Where is a proof that KYC will be never introduced at bitcointalk? If KYC will be never introduced at bitcointalk - then I am on behalf of the entire crypto community demand Theymos to make a statement about it:

Example for statement: "I am Theymos and I swear that KYC will be never introduced on bitcointalk forum"

You're not the spokesperson for the entire crypto-community.

Entire crypto-community are afraid that they will be kicked out from DT for their point of view. I am not in DT and am freed from the obligation to lick the ass of the forum executioners. I voice what many people think about but are afraid to say

Hey troll, how about you type a bit less and read a bit more?

I'll get right on that, just as soon as hell freezes over.

This is not actual today. That statement from 2018 is an obsolete. Then regulators had not yet declared a hunt for BTC. That statement should be updated now in 2023 because this is a rubbish. By frozen hell he could have meant the invasion of the feds. He has some inaccurate definition

My heart skipped a beat back when there was April fool prank (thankfully!) saying bitcointalk will start requiring kyc. I hope forum doesn't come to that point.

I think you are all gradually being prepared for KYC by the April Fool's Day sauce

If you are talking about this forum, there will be no KYC.

Even those social media do not require KYC, not to talk of forums.

This isn’t exactly totally true. Some of us have already provided this forum with KYC information in order to properly be taxed for our income here. While I’m sure this is a very small number of users, it is a fact that users here have already had to provide this information, in my case several years ago, so it isn’t a totally crazy idea.

[Hispo]

Somehow, seeing this account to take advantage of these uncertain times to the forum is nothing surprising, to be honest. While this forum asking KYC information would be extremely unlikely, the situation and the atmosphere of these hours may make more than one user to fall in your attempt to spread panic.

It is a special case, indeed, though it mostly depends on the jurisdiction one lives in.
Also, I may be wrong, but some social media actually requires us to summit some personal information in order to enhance security (according to them) for example on Twitter/X we all are encouraged to give our country of origin, telephone number, preferred languages, etc. That would me more than enough for an intelligence agency to identify us if they really wanted to.

Bitcointalk.org is under the jurisdiction of the US government and we will never know if the government will force theymos to enforce KYC for each user. Really that would be something that would compromise user privacy, but so far I don't think that will happen. The ban on mixers on forums was not at the request of the US government, but it was an initiative taken by theymos to protect bitcointalk and its users from possible problems in the future. At least that's what I know although this is my personal assumption.

After all, bitcointalk is a discussion forum that does not essentially harm the government and its sovereignty. So I don't think KYC is mandatory for every user regardless of bitcointalk's compliance with US Jurisdiction and subpoenas.

[Adbitco]

Have you asked about the sole purpose of this forum and why would kyc come in place now even though there have been a restriction sets on mixers doesn't mean Theymos will have to introduce kyc to forum after saying that the forum allows everyone to do whatever they want. This also made him not to include any additional security to help guard and protect every users account, that is to say that security of account is too poor yet the effect wasn't taken about this, but yet you think kyc will be implemented here? No not possible. This is not possible because we are still free to have an unending access to this forum if there were any difficulty or anything that leads to account hack then you would be asked to sign a message with your bitcoin address that has been previously used here that is only automatic way of authentication to have your account back.

[wallet4bitcoin]

You are really trolling today.

While we are discussing KYC in bitcointalk forum, the US is busy talking about having all social media accounts being KYCed, if this becomes a law then it has been institutied and it will only take time before institutions start regulating what is meant to be void of identity.

I am very concerned about this even as I know that Theymos and others will not request for KYC  from members but let institutions not force the forum to that extreme of KYC.

I don't have that question so speak for your self..

BTW @ theymos any time you want my kyc send me a pm.

Many exchanges also promised that they will never introduce a KYC. As a result, under a pressure from regulators, they introduced a KYC

Many exchanges started as a fun endeavor and they might have had their claims when they started the business but when hard money started coming in and after understanding the real business aspect and how regulators will stick to you, they changed their narrative because they wanted to survive as a business.

By the way, there is a section at the forum where users exchanging cryptocurrency with each other. And this is already subject to regulation

No!!

[Mrbluntzy]

It is funny to ask this question because you know that KYC will not be introduced on this community. Why do you think KYC will or should be introduced? Every body that is on this place are just here for discussion and to share knowledge between each other, some people do buying and selling here but it is on their own risk, that's not a reasonable reason why KYC must be added to this place.

[arabspaceship123]

We've read the news about mixers being banned on Jan 1 2024. There isn't going to be KYC in the forum so why're you saying the entire crypto community's asking. I didn't read ppl asking the question. It doesn't explain why you're making a topic out of something which isn't going to happen.

Binance is a case in reference for me and I can remember how pissed I was when that happened. Sometimes, I reason that nothing is absolute that it can't be affected by change and that's why I don't see any sarcasm in the topic you raised. I won't be scandalized if a few months/years down the line theymos begins to call for a KYC here. For those who think it will never happen, never say NEVER. There's nothing impossible under the sun. A simple phone number added is a KYC already. It doesn't need to be a full biodata and we should know this.

Can Thermos promise to all of us all right now that he is not under a pressure?

Ok, you don't have to be that pissed as to replace theymos with Thermos 😏.

[Shenanigan]

I don't think they will introduce this measure. There's no need for that

[SamReomo]

The ban on mixers finally proved that the forum is centralized. And as the authorities order the admin, so it will be

You're totally wrong in this regard. The forum is for everyone and there's nothing like centralization on this forum yet. The ban on mixers was a good decision that theymos took in order to prevent the negative things that may happen to forum and that has nothing to do with centralization.

Although, I'm not against mixers but the authorities have seized many mixers because they found money laundering that took place on those mixer sites. I know that the good mixers would never mix stolen Bitcoin or mix from the addresses that are flagged but still prevention is better than cure and that's why as a preventive measure theymos placed ban on mixers.

Unlicensed cryptocurrency trading is carried out on the forum. This is already a reason to introduce the KYC procedure

The forum is registered in the USA and must comply with US laws and cooperate with FATF and AML enforcement agencies

Im not sure if you are right but this forum has been created to promote bitcoin and its the only thing that truly decentralized out there. How come to think that this forum is centralized? Due to the mixer issue removal? Well I think theymos has to do it in order to save from an uglier scene, probably its for the betterment of the forum thats why its announced by theymos. I doubt that he will never ask for KYC in here. Maybe last time, but that was clearly an April fools activity.

Are you sure? Where is a proof that KYC will be never introduced at bitcointalk? If KYC will be never introduced at bitcointalk - then I am on behalf of the entire crypto community demand Theymos to make a statement about it:

Example for statement: "I am Theymos and I swear that KYC will be never introduced on bitcointalk forum"

Now Theymos will learn from 21 negative owner, how to make statement for future work. Theymos already clear all necessary things in the post you shared in top OP post. If Theymos think KYC is needed then I will be first one to do my KYC without any hesitation.

BTW What will your reaction if Theymos make statement like this

All members who have multiple negative, Just do KYC and enjoy negative free account 

[acroman08]

I'm surprised people still entertain this guy. The dude started trolling the forum when the scam he was trying to advertise here got called out by forum members 😂 he reminds me a lot of the user humanrightsfoundation, that guy went nuts when forum members didn't buy his scam attempt here in the forum.
