In my opinion, the AML process is a tool to destroy and discredit Bitcoin. Bitcoin is money that does not need the support or approval of a third party.

By insisting on the legitimacy of the AML process, regulators and the organizations they control are attacking the very essence of Bitcoin. They are saying, “Without our approval, Bitcoin cannot be recognized as real, genuine, legitimate Bitcoin.” But in reality, any Bitcoin that exists in nature is real, genuine, and legitimate.

The right thing to do is to ignore the AML process. If everyone did that, we would get rid of a lot of problems.

Of course, there are other ways to do it. You can buy Bitcoin from an officially approved cryptocurrency exchange (like Coinbase), but as rightly noted above, even that does not guarantee that you will not have problems in the future.
