Many people don't see using centralized platforms and submitting your documents as detrimental to their privacy.

Using centralized exchanges is no longer just detrimental to your privacy and your security as it always has been - it's now detrimental to even owning bitcoin at all. If we don't fight against this you won't be allowed to own bitcoin at all. All you will be allowed to own is an IOU on the centralized spreadsheet of some centralized exchange, and we've seen plenty of times over the last few years that such a thing is completely worthless.

It is very clear that this piece of legislation has a hidden agenda behind it to give the banking giants, Paypal, and other Wall Street outfits even more bitcoins than they may already own right now. As well as pretty much every other cryptocurrency that has a worth.

Comments on the proposal are now open, and remain so until January 22nd: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/10/23/2023-23449/proposal-of-special-measure-regarding-convertible-virtual-currency-mixing-as-a-class-of-transactions#

I notice there are 48 comments on this document, and yet none of them are even visible. Looks like they are withholding comments for "review" or whatever that means.
