@OxoUtx @propelforward @jchervinsky @BitGo This is NOT non custodial (despite what they may want to believe). They have a key.

BitGo settles with US Treasury over sanctions violations

Retweeted by Jon Matonis 
OFAC just settled an enforcement action with @BitGo for apparently failing to prevent users in Crimea, Cuba, Iran, Sudan, & Syria from using its service.
Lots to say here, but first, it turns out Treasury *doesn't* need more KYC to enforce sanctions laws.

The industrial revolution wasn’t only about technology. You need the structures capable of exploiting the new technologies when they come along. What is waiting in the wings to replace the company?
Retweeted by Jon Matonis This is a clear escalation of the Crypto Arms Race (privacy protocols vs. financial surveillance), and the technical privacy protocols must prevail for a free society. twitter.com/MarshallHayner…

Retweeted by Jon Matonis Don't sleep on the team at Suredbits and the work they're doing on DLCs. If you do, you will miss out on the fact that people are bringing products to market on top of Bitcoin that were previously thought to be impossible and destined for altcoin chains.

Retweeted by Jon Matonis @balajis I don't often retweet Balaji, but when I do it's about the importance of privacy.
Retweeted by Jon Matonis Privacy > KYC
The long-term reform is to end KYC completely.
End financial surveillance. Stop forcing companies to collect hackable jackpots of KYC data. Better one guilty man go free than millions of innocents get hacked.
Because they will get hacked, as Treasury itself was.

Retweeted by Jon Matonis Particularly egregious is a pt @lex_node points out. Essentially, the USG wants to take the stance that it can treat crypto as a monetary instrument purely for restrictive policies, but exclude it if it removes their ability to exercise more oversight.

Retweeted by Jon Matonis Tl;dr exchanges will need to file a CTR when they send funds to a crypto address. No impact on users, no impact on B2C or B2B, but likely increased surveillance of the Bitcoin network by the govt.
Good scoop by the Block to actually get details on the proposal.

Nonsense. This is the problem with chartalists and MMTers. They don't see money as just another market good. Technology has proven them wrong in a stunning way.

Retweeted by Jon Matonis Attempting to "drop the store of value function" from the definition of money is a dangerous move that would lead to a society that is overall dumber than it already is. -@MartyBent tftc.io/martys-bent/is…
Really bad take....from a monetary economist nonetheless. In the absence of coercive legal tender laws, SoV precedes MoE so dropping SoV ignores the evolution of money. #MMEwarning for this article. twitter.com/jp_koning/stat…
