FEW_BTC on Nostr: I didn't want to read "License to Exist"... I put it off, I already knew what it ...

I didn't want to read "License to Exist"... I put it off, I already knew what it would say, I didn't need another brilliantly composed blackpill from Kudzai... but I did read it... and you should too.

We either fight to remain free humans or we cave, roll over, and enter the digital panopticon. Resistance will not be easy, but I'm betting that the battle for freedom and sovereignty will be worth it. I'm also hopeful that nostr will continue to draw freedom lovers from around the world.

May we all exist without license.
Banks that are permitted to use digital ID for KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance will adopt it enthusiastically as it reduces their costs and legal liability. They will retain paper alternatives technically, but the customer service infrastructure for those alternatives will wither. The queues will be longer, more physical branches will close and the forms will be more onerous. “Voluntary” will mean: you can choose the harder path, but you will be punished for it in a thousand small, but plausibly deniable ways.
