    Bistamp new KYC - Attack on privacy (!?) What is this...? Is it neccesary?

    Posted: 24 Feb 2019 02:30 AM PST

    So i have account on bitstamp for quite some time now. I completed back then i guess some KYC process (sent them photo of my national identification card or + my passport etc.) whatever they wanted back then and i got verified. All was well for a LONG LONG LONG time. But recently when i logged in i was greeted by some yellow informative/"error" banner, something about new KYC things i need to complete- i was like OMG... So i clicked it, and this was the result...:

    (link to picture):

    My questions are several - What is this? Is this for real...? I dont want to give such info, why should I? Are they normal, this is QUITE A BIT PERSONAL and i dont get why they should want it or need it... Is this some new RECENT law in european union that Bitcoin exchanges NEED to get even more info...? If it is NOT necessary (which i hope it is not) why is this categorizied under "Verify account" and "KYC Form"...?

    I do NOT want to give such info to Bitstamp and dont see ANY reason why i would need to. They got my national identification card (pictures), passport pictures and i believe also some proof of residency (bank accoutn statement). If they need to update these i dont have much problem providing updated information. But THIS...? How much do i make, how much money do i have etc. - FOCK OFF...

    If i dont complete it what happens, will my account be terminated, will i not be able to withdraw any money?

    NOTE: I did not attempt EVER any money withdrawl from bitstamp yet, only sending fiat IN, not ONCE out...

    What is this, im quite pis***...

    We should destroy Bitcoin.

    Posted: 23 Feb 2019 01:53 PM PST

    I have come full circle.

    Since my involvement in Bitcoin in 2012, I believed that evangelizing and "spreading the word" about the technology was key. I've changed so much since those heady early days. It's nostalgic in a way. Like looking back at a much younger, immature version of myself just a few years in the past.

    And that circle back has lead me from being a rabid supporter of everything positive in the community to a fierce critic and advocate of alternative viewpoints. Every member of this community who is wrapped up in the price of Bitcoin, in getting rich overnight (you won't), should instead try to use their knowledge and skills to constructively criticize and provide feedback to every development in this space. People need to learn that a technology like Bitcoin thrives on adversity, I have come to observe. Through all the fork arguments, the back and forth, the challenges, the demeaning comments, the insidious players in the space, all of it- history has shown that wrestling with Bitcoin gives it practice in anti-fragility.

    Every junky, clanky UI decision, every busted lightning node and wallet, every questionable decision by devs, all should be analyzed and busted apart with every ounce of constructivity that we can muster. Challenge viewpoints and provide critiques, remove yourself from blithely pumping prices in public. Wrench yourself from the human tendency to detach yourself from reason when you are financially and thus, emotionally involved in something that should have no part in capricious emotional appeals.

    If Bitcoin truly is anti-fragile as we often say, then break it. Make it live where it was born: the cauldron of fire that is the warzone of internet security. Make it thrive there and maybe, just maybe, one day, you will realize that dream that you had of being a part of an immensely successful cryptocurrency. But not before.

    By going on easy on Bitcoin, we actually make it weaker. Destroy it, if you think you have what it takes.
