How can I check if a bitcoin address is blacklisted? Why does blacklisting addresses not work? What are your thoughts on surveillance companies in the industry? What does it mean to build unstoppable code in a world of regulations like KYC/AML? Is there a fundamental difference between writing code and running a business?

looking forward to the day when i can translate between english and chinese on a DAO to earn bitcoin
This is invaluable information, Thanks man!
When Epic Cash launched their MimbleWimble coin last week I was super excited. Fungibility is super important. When I see BTC Maximalists praise transparency it makes me cringe. I will Hold some BTC but it is no longer my number 1 choice.
Weren't you asking to be your own bank?
The purest teacher in BTC, and crypto hands down!
"The scum of the earth", truly well spoken my brother. 10 years of keeping the same principles, that is why we love you, never change!!!
You always say bitcoin is censorship resistant but you censors your transactions yourself if a person name appear on a list… ?
– i admire andreas because he is not affraid to say what other crypto spokesman and youtubers are affraid to say , like IvanOnTech , he is so cowardly trying not to say anything against anyone no matter how corrupted or disgusting they are , and he is covering it by the priniciple of not being political , but the real reasons are purely comercial (everybody must like me and watch my channel) , as a honest human being and public persona you have an obligation to speak in the interest of truth,justice and equality , what a piece of shit
You are describing a test of 'purpose.' Everyone and every fool will tell you, "don't do it!"
If you don't have a strong will – you will 'give in' to the Struggle itself.
It is also test of persistence (Not for the 'tired' or those that lack intrepid curiosity) and a crude I.Q. Screen.
This will leave 80% of the population OUT until there is a painless, 'one-click' 'dummy switch' Gateway.
Try again ? off topic : Don`t get too tired Andreas there still is a long way ahead.
People just entering crypto with fiat won't know enough to care about their purchases being tied to their identity. And other than maybe trading some crypto for other crypto, they are unlikely to do anything else with it except sell it back into fiat after it appreciates in value. Those 2 things are all they're buying it to do, so as long as they intend to pay taxes on gains (and deduct for trading losses), full KYC on all their activity doesn't really matter to them. Those who care about the concept of anonymity and financial independence will hopefully have their fiat already in the crypto space before these laws go into effect, or at least know people who do. They can stick exclusively to decentralized exchanges up to the point that they may want to sell crypto for fiat. What happens at that juncture after such laws might be implemented is the question. We are much farther off from the day when one can pay their rent in crypto than we are from when price will appreciate enough for someone to want to be able to use it for the down payment on a house.

As always appreciate you inside and knowledge.
Andreas, their lookup is outsourced to specialty companies, and their algos are far more sophisticated than a simple lookback at N number of tx. Their methods are quite sophisticated, and EASILY able to see past 3, 5, 10 simple transactions to new addresses. I usually love your content, but it seems irresponsible to not tell people the truth about this situation.
Sorry it has to be done… Andreas "Kenobi" on blacklists: "I have never seen a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."
Thank you for using a better mic
Thank you sir.
The real goal by the globalist regulators is to make having Bitcoin, or a Bitcoin-related business, so difficult and onerous, and try to taint it as illegal with so many rules that users and people will give up, because they make it illegal. They make it inconvenient. They make it inferior to their already inferior economic systems
From the electric socket on the wall it looks like you are somewhere in South America.
Blacklisting is one thing, however, whitelisting is another ==> Every Bitcoin-address is blacklisted unless it has been registered with the authorities. I can see something like this happen.
😀
No harm, but what a load of horseshit this explanation/solution is.
Just take your finger out, and talk sense.
Privacy-by-Design or Privacy-by-Default cryptocurrency is what is required – and you Sir, should be saying as such.
I heard about these black listed addresses. And right away, I thought it was plain stupidity.
Let's all aim to build unstoppable cool
I thank you, Sir.
Big love from Australia Andreas
