It sure seems like they're going to require KYC/AML. And while it sucks for sure, can we really blame them? It's highly like that Twitter allowing non-KYC money sending(even if it's just a front-end UI thing, not necessarily them facilitating the transactions) is just going to get themselves in trouble with the government.
In the end, while again— it sucks, this is still in no doubt positive in my book.
Agreed.
Regardless of how you look at it though this can't be bad news. KYC is totally expected with a company of this size.
Certainly will showcase to the world the potential that bitcoin has as a means of payment as well as a store of value, I think. These high profile endorsements of blockchain technology are certainly for the better.
