Have also noticed that Bitstamp are becoming tighter and tighter with allowing deposits to register in peoples accounts. I sent over just $3K the other day and again, they are wanting me to 'prove' where I am getting it from. I told them to fuck off. I am getting my money back, I can't see how I am going to get any amount of money back onto that exchanges cos no way am I giving them any personal details of the description that they are asking for. Bet there are quite as lot of Bitcoiners who are feeling the same. Not exactly conducive to increased adoption is it?
That's very interesting and I agree, not conducive to increased adoption.
I wonder what the perma bulls (aminorex, risto) think of this.
Thanks Mat.
It depends how you look at it, they arent asking for proof its just normal KYC stuff, it shows more compliance if anything. If you have nothing to hide it makes no difference and if you do then pay the premium and use an exchange that isnt compliant. BTC-e or localbitcoins etc.
Isnt that exactly the reason people get into crypto, because they have somthing to hide?
