Oddbean new post about login | logout I trade some of my KYC Bitcoin to someone who isn't KYC'ed. Cool. They now have KYC free Bitcoin. What happens if they fund terrorists or something with it? How do I prove I wasn't actually the one who sent it when the KYC trail ends at me?
Do mixers and things like that actually resolve this issue or do they simply make someone else look like me and make me look like someone else? If so, that isn't really any better. If that is the case, the best anyone can hope for is that analytics software will at some point be considered inadmissible in court. Otherwise, I can't see how a lot of people aren't fucked. Please share information if you know that I am missing something here. I've seen some good points from Monero supporters, but going in and out of these types of systems has data leak concerns too. nostr:note1wa70qwhcdcjfcud3aj0a762dmxw2p97yuez0acl3rcp4vj9nwzlq68633e
On the one hand, I’m like dude, do whatever the fuck you want with your bitcoin. On the other, I dig that you’re gaming out a hypothetical where feds come knocking at your door and you’re questioning your entire opsec.
That does seem a bit worrisome. I’m not a lawyer but shouldn’t it be on *them* to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it *was* you? Yes “should” isn’t necessarily how it is and doesn’t mean they couldn’t turn your life upside down in defending yourself.
