They claimed that when they collected your ID before users sign up? This is so brain dead

I also experienced their overzealous compliance attitude. It’s disheartening and a fiat bank feels like a privacy respecting entity compared to what they are up to. Would like to see Jack Mallers who chose to be a very public person discuss and address these issues honestly and if he is actually aware of this. The regulated control system turns licensed companies into state enforcement pawns bullying their customers into giving up their financial privacy while they are proud of their bureaucratic compliance badge and helping to enforce the Orwellian state. Did anyone in Uk or Europe try to withdraw their strike bitcoin to a self hosted wallet? I fear they will refuse that also unless you “prove” it is your wallet. It’s so sad.

This is the level we're at: this account, one of the most followed among Bitcoiners, is celebrating Japan's decision to recognize Bitcoin as a financial asset—which means you'll have to pay taxes on...

There is a crucial nuance and a positive change for Japanese tax payer abiding to their laws and willing to hold bitcoin:

If enacted, Japan would move from taxing realized gains in yen to a better category from:

“crypto = highly taxed miscellaneous income (up to 55%)”

to:

“crypto = financial asset with ~20% capital-markets-style taxation”

The law will make it more attractive for average Japanese to hold or use bitcoin. First think then shout !

But reality is that all altcoins are centralized, not censorship resistant and because of that ultimately worthless. No need for "crypto technology ecosystem". It's about #bitcoins growing ecosystem.

I agree. This is part of reality. But it in „crypto“ it is not all about altcoins and value store and speculation. Tether has an important use case for millions of people right now all over the world. Important and powerful trends pursued by the financial industry are tokenization of assets and smart contracts. Second and third layer bitcoin applications are part of this. There are no flexible smart contracts on bitcoin, and rightfully so. Bitcoin is a stable bedrock. And the ultimate store of value if you believe Michael Saylor. It is a reality with many facets. As always.
