Thoughts ?
As Loyce has pointed out above, the Netherlands tried to implement such address verification nonsense. Instead of just rolling over and saying "Sure, let's sell out our users' privacy" as Trezor are doing here, the biggest exchange in the Netherlands - Bitonic - funded a lawsuits against the central bank and had the law overturned.
This is what responsible companies which care about their users would do, and not just immediately implement this privacy invading nonsense, especially not in to a product which is designed specifically to give you control over your money and not play in to the hands of centralized exchanges or governments.
It would affect me in the slightest since I have never and will never use a centralized exchange, (
especially not one which requires such address verification nonsense), but I am disappointed Trezor aren't fighting this instead of implementing it.
This is just a way to put a sticker on those addresses to be sure.
If I ever traded on a centralized exchange, any coins I withdrew to a KYC-linked address would be forwarded to a mixer within the same block.
It is absolutely crazy that the community as a whole is OK with this kind of insane privacy invasion.
