In fact, I appreciate you doubting and arguing with me, Weare Bitcoiners. That’s what we live in breathe. Be skeptical be curious.

I don’t have to know her friend. I just have to know that my dog walker trusts her. Currently, there is just not a better web of trust in existence. Nostr is a public key. It’s not a private web of trust. What other private web of trust exists? I hope people are building these. But right now, when it comes to the ability for people to easily peer to peer they’re just isn’t a better option and phone numbers that everyone has! We’re not trying to build a new social network we’re trying to take the oldest one we have and enable it now for private trading. The thing about Vexl is that I only have to tell my dog walker about one app when she finally wants to learn how to buy bitcoin Vexl, and she can immediately post an offer privately and trade with the people in my network, but also in the people in hers. Local peer to peer we encourage cash only. Bitcoin starts local, not trading with strangers on the Internet If you’re a plumber or an electrician or let’s say a dog walker or a hairdresser doesn’t matter you can post an ad on Vexl offering your services for Bitcoin and you’re sharing that privately with a network of people that you can trust. Vexl is a tool. If it works for you, use it if it doesn’t that’s fine as well. But I don’t know any other tools that are easier to onboard someone to be able to buy bitcoin p2p how it was intended. With no KYC. npub1gunkavtrl32txueexz44el2l49rg0gv48pc6suadf7hwj852tuuqj3nudq satsdisco https://vexl.it/post/understanding-vexl-security-privacy-and-building-a-web-of-trust Start here. You have to verify your human and that you are the owner. Vexl is made so that you can trade with your friends and friends and friends privately. All of the phone numbers are hashed locally the hashes do leave the device. The hashes are what build out your web of trust. Your social graph. But if you want to keep trading with your passport and bank account on exchanges, that’s fine. Of course, with anything there can always be trade-offs. You can also use any burner number you want, but then you wouldn’t be able to trade with your friends and friends and friends unless you share that number with them as they won’t have the Hash. npub1gunkavtrl32txueexz44el2l49rg0gv48pc6suadf7hwj852tuuqj3nudq satsdisco I can’t zap you, but I approve this message It’s exactly the same kind of psychosis people get when vibecoding one more prompt will fix it all!

What is IDMerit? A KYC verification company. One designed and promised to keep your data safe. Welcome to the dawn of AI powered identity verification. Cybernews researchers found a totally unprotected MongoDB database in November last year. With.. get this.. 1 terabyte. 3 billion records with 1 billion containing sensitive personal info across 26 countries. So what sensitive information? Pretty much exactly what you would want to protect. Full legal names, home addresses and postal codes, dates of birth, national identification numbers, phone numbers, email addresses and telecom metadata. The USA had 204 million records exposed. Mexico 120+ million. Philippines 72 million. Germany 61 million. Italy and France 53 million each. So is it any wonder kidnappings are on the rise in France? Hell the French tax office is implicated in exposing private data. This wasn't some sophisticated hack. Not some zero day exploit. It was literally a database being left open on the internet with no password. The companies that are supposed to protect your identity can't even protect their own database. So yeah, what we get here is not another isolated case. This is a pattern. Let's look at what happened in just the last couple years alone. Coinbase May 2025: employees in India bribed to steal KYC data. 69,461 users. Government IDs, social security numbers, bank details, transaction histories. Cost: $180-400 million. Transak 2024: 92,554 users' government IDs and selfies stolen from one phished employee. Signzy 2024: major KYC provider breached, customer data from banks appeared on the dark web. NCX Exchange 2025: 2 million records leaked including KYC documents. Indian Financial Institutions 2025: 500GB of KYC data exposed through a bad storage bucket. UK 2025: a GB of selfies, IDs, passports, and driver's licenses dumped on dark web forums. Just sitting there for the taking. Then like just a few days ago completely separate from the IDMerit leak, at Abu Dhabi Finance Week more than 700 passport scans and government ID cards were found unprotected on a cloud server. These were world leaders, politicians, and major business figures. So yeah, you're talking about billions of records in the last year alone that have been leaked. These are just the ones that have been reported so far. It's really not if your KYC data gets leaked. It's when. Like every company out there that collects your passport is making a bet. Of course they don't WANT your data to get leaked. But they are just betting. Betting an employee won't be bribed. Their database won't get hacked. But the odds are against them. Every. Single. Time. But you know what? You can't change your passport number. You can't change your face. You can't change your date of birth. When a password leaks you can change it, but when your ID leaks you're compromised for the rest of your life. In 2024 finance overtook healthcare as the most hacked industry. 30% of breaches now involve third-party vendors. What did Satoshi say about trusted third parties? Well yeah... here we are. Now owning bitcoin can be dangerous if your data falls into the wrong hands. Last week I shared that KYC catches less than 0.1% of criminal money and costs 100x more than it recovers. I showed you how it can be used as a weapon against protesters, political opponents, and legal businesses. Well look at this. It couldn't be more clear. The data isn't safe and it was never going to be safe. 1 billion records sitting on the internet with no password just again proves that. But this is what I just don't understand. We have the evidence. We have years of it. Breach after breach after breach. For a lot of you it starts with your inbox full of phishing emails. Your passport on the dark web. But for some it starts with being dragged into the back of someone's kidnapper van with your pinkie finger removed. What's even more bonkers is that today as I'm writing this, PayPal has disclosed that for more than six months a code error exposed customers' Social Security numbers, names, addresses, dates of birth. How did they respond? Sorry, here is some free credit monitoring. In 2023 the Swedish police raided Mullvad VPN with a search warrant. They wanted user data. They left with nothing because there was nothing to give. The answer is never better security. It's never stronger passwords. The answer is to never collect data in the first place. So yeah, if you're reading this and you're thinking like well what can we do at this point? Is it too late? No, it's not too late. Stop using services that require a passport to buy bitcoin. It's that simple. Use something like @nprofile…c5wz its totally free, completely open source, lets you buy and sell bitcoin peer to peer with no KYC, no ID, no database, no freaking honeypot. Using Vexl and trading with cash means your transaction history and ID won't end up in the next open database. Download it at vex.it Genuinely if you think this was useful help me scream it. I think people just don't know this is happening. They hand over their data and they don't hear about this before it's too late. Protect yourself. No one else will.

That means AML just Another Meaningless Law that is Actively Making you Locatable to kidnappers that is…. npub1gunkavtrl32txueexz44el2l49rg0gv48pc6suadf7hwj852tuuqj3nudq satsdisco So I don't know why more people don't scream about this but KYC does not prevent crime. I'm gonna lay out the numbers here because people need to see this. The cost of pretending it works is measured in actual human lives now. There was a peer reviewed study by researcher Ronald Pol where he found that AML regulations have less than a 0.1% impact on criminal finances. You read that correctly. Less than 0.1%. That means it catches basically nothing. What a joke. But how much does this cost? The financial industry spends over $200 billion a year on KYC/AML compliance. Europol itself says they confiscate less than 2% in the EU, and in the USA it's even worse, its less than 0.2%. That means the cost of compliance is over 100x what they recover. You know what does happen through all of this compliance? The biggest money laundering operations in human history. So what do the numbers show for the fully KYC compliant banks? Danske Bank: $230 billion laundered HSBC: billions for the Sinaloa cartel Wachovia: $378 billion in cartel wire transfers HSBC was laundering money for one of the most violent drug cartels on earth. They got hit with a $1.9 billion fine. Nobody went to jail, then according to the ICIJ investigation they kept moving money even after the fine. That's not a system that prevents crime. That enables it. At the same time, the system generates 4.6 million suspicious activity reports in the US alone. 95% of them are false positives. Millions of people's accounts flagged, frozen, and their lives disrupted. For what? To catch 0.1%. But it's not just about the inconvenience of having your account frozen. It's your life on the line. KYC links your identity to your money. Every exchange that collects your passport, your address, your biometrics and all that data sits in a database waiting to be breached. Coinbase in 2025 employees were BRIBED to steal data. "We're sorry." 70,000 users. Government IDs, SSN, bank details, transaction history, addresses. Yet people still willingly turn this information over because they believe they have to. And we learned that Persona, a KYC provider used by Kraken and many others, has code that pipes your passport data directly to FinCEN tagged with intelligence program codenames. Furthermore, while all this happens, 1.7 billion people still don't have access to a bank account. The World Bank says 75% of unbanked people are locked out because of costs and requirements. 100 million in Africa without IDs at all. KYC makes financial access impossible for them. So help me understand. A system that catches less than 0.1% of criminal activity. Costs 100x more than it recovers. Enables the largest laundering operations in history. Creates target lists that get people kidnapped and mutilated. Yet we're told it's protecting us. Jameson Lopp tracks physical bitcoin attacks. Wrench attacks up 169% in 2025, and France is a hotbed of activity these days. These people aren't being targeted because of Bitcoin. They're being targeted because their identity was linked to their holdings. That is KYC. I know I scream this every day and the people who follow me are probably tired of hearing me talk about it. But I don't know how to say it louder. We need your voice as well. KYC is not a safety measure. KYC is surveillance infrastructure marketed as consumer protection. If you actually care about safety, you should care about people being able to transact without painting a target on themselves. Peer to peer. No KYC. That's not radical it's the only thing that makes sense. npub1gunkavtrl32txueexz44el2l49rg0gv48pc6suadf7hwj852tuuqj3nudq satsdisco Please delete an exchange you don’t use today. #nevent1q…jxk9 npub1gunkavtrl32txueexz44el2l49rg0gv48pc6suadf7hwj852tuuqj3nudq satsdisco Hey man your phone number isn’t shared with us.
