Overly libertarian crypto-bro vs AML regulations: EU edition - eviltoast

Choice quote:

Actually I feel violated.

It’s a KYC interview, not a police interrogation. I’ve always enjoyed KYC interviews; I get to talk about my business plans, or what I’m going to do with my loan, or how I ended up buying/selling stocks. It’s hard to empathize with somebody who feels “violated” by small talk.

    Your position is also inconsistent. For example, coyotes have meat-based diets and are not capitalist; I think that coyotes also don’t use cryptocurrency, although I have no evidence either way. Naturalistic appeals are usually fallacies since they involve special pleading for humans in an otherwise-natural holistic existence.

    That said, I upvoted you for approaching the concept of obligate capitalism, the idea that the only choices presented to humans within a capitalist society are to own capital, labor, or starve. We should be less keen to criticize each other merely for choosing to live.
