Re: Localbitcoins now requires identification

I think this is more related to decrease the growing fud over p2p crypto exchange with reversible payment methods. Don't know whether or not LBC will cooperate with law enforcement in case of scam but giving your identity to third party like LBC is quite risky. There is no point in using LBC instead of your local trading platform if they will make verification as mandatory requirement.. Grin

The choices will be just the same where most users don't have any choice but to comply on what have been asked. If they would decide to leave LBC and go to traditional exchangers they would still need to comply KYC and now LBC do ask it also which means you don't have anymore ways to make yourself truly anonymous but somehow this thing or problem would be faced for those who do make transactions way beyond limits.

It's not true, you can still trade anonymously it's just that people are lazy to search or want to find the cheaper, or don't want to spend 30 minutes to learn. People want the spoon in the mouth directly
It's not so difficult to keep your privacy and to avoid the usual KYC process..

This is true which the things you do said was right.People do really love on being spoonfeed where they dont really bother theirselves on searching up other things and as you said there are lots of ways to remain anonymous without the need of complying such thing being asked on kyc. They are not just making a move or doing good search on possible ways.
