removing the app from US app stores will not satisfy regulators - they will expect kyc on all users globally to make sure americans are not using it yes, that is fucked up but that is how large custodians have been treated in the past removing the app from US app stores abruptly with delayed comms indicates a level of panic from their team that is a concern - the only responsible path forward requires deliberate action from the wallet of satoshi team to encourage users to withdraw funds ASAP - otherwise the next course of action is likely a panicked shotgun kyc of all users without notice View quoted note →

It sure seems like this and the other crack down on exchanges is all part of the big picture. First they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then they assimilate you. We are likely in the phase of assimilation. With the open block chain plus kyc/aml (compliant exchanges and on/off ramps) they would have the control they want. Even though in reality only a small percentage of BTC transactions are nefarious. That's a narrative that is ingrained in politicians minds (along with most mainstream). They will easily pass laws that prohibit non kyc Bitcoin.

I've heard they log your IP address. As long as you haven't "backed up" your wallet it should still be relatively anon if you're using a vpn

But I thought ya'll were gonna live in a black market utopia when SHTF @ODELL? These kind of capitulations are only the beginning. The majority own less than 1 BTC. They'll all be forced into the bolshevik banking cartel's approved custodians. It's okay. You'll feel vindicated while meme-ing from your beach house in El Salvador.
