<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sunbird, post: 8217107, member: 116324&quot;]They force crypto exchanges like Coinbase to report your activity. This is why Coinbase, Kraken, et al require all sorts of information from you, like SSN, webcam photo, driver&#039;s license, etc. They are forced to implement much of the same Orwellian measures as US banks, possibly even more, like the Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) measures that emerged in the 1970s as the US government intensified its drug war efforts.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s no way for a government to know about private transactions that don&#039;t use the exchanges. Technical users can move Bitcoin and similar currencies without exchanges, and this was the original intent. It&#039;s just like any other private transaction at that point, or like handing someone traditional cash.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
