Crypto KYC: Compliance Shield or Surveillance Overreach? Spur Protocol’s Take
Know Your Customer rules divide crypto—privacy maximalists rage while regulators cheer. Spur Protocol’s quiz reveals the trade-offs.

Taxman’s ledger. Every KYC’d transaction is a breadcrumb for revenue agents. ’Voluntary compliance’ sounds nicer than audit threats.
Bonus jab: Banks demand your childhood pet’s name for a $50 transfer—but somehow crypto’s the ’risky’ one needing oversight.
