New DeFi broker reporting regs are out. They are ass. Everything is pinned on "front end" providers for information reporting.

As much as I want to dig into these and start formulating strategies to deal with them, it seems really unlikely they will ever go into effect, givenβ¦

Isn't this a classic case of overregulation that is destroying a new financial industry too keep power with the old status quo thus slowing down growth and economic complexity and speeding up economic decline?

Lmbo, why did cryptocels think their magic beans wouldn't be taxed? Even a thief has to pay taxes on the value of the goods he steals.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
That's the obvious part. This is like if you had to find out the thief's identity and report that and the amount of the theft to the IRS. It's not obvious who should be covered beyond the traditional banks the regulation was originally written for (and even for them it's a bit onerous).

KYC is super common and is mandatory for most financial transactions, certainly mandatory for trading any kind of stocks, bonds, options, futures, etc.
Why these r-slurs thought crypto was somehow special and beyond regulation is beyond me. They seem upset that the broker you make an account and trade through (especially the one that provides ACH transfers in/out and probably wire transfers too) is required to KYC but who the frick else would do it? Isn't this the really obvious approach?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
There's lots of things that are very common but probably shouldn't be.
For example, think of how license plates and automatic recognition are used to track you everywhere you travel on the highway, or even in parking lots where a police patrol will drive by and scan all the carsβthe only reason people put up with it is because license plates have been ubiquitous for so long.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
... uh yeah I see no issues w/ KYC rules tbh. Seems super reasonable to me that you need to provide your identity when transacting millions of dollars. Doesn't seem to be an issue really, it's not difficult to provide such info, and if you're already reporting your crypto trading income to the IRS then you don't really have to do anything different.
I guess these regs suck if you were committing tax fraud, but "waah i hate these regulations because they make it harder for me to commit fraud" is r-slurred.
Edit: Really it mostly sucks for the brokers who now need to track more data, as their compliance burden just got heavier. That's on them, though, not the individual customers.

They may not do so, but they are required to report it as income. Do you want a link to the IRS saying so?

this is the same nation that lost a war to afganistan and vietnam.
Defeating an army with big bombs and tanks and aircraft is not the same thing as putting boots on the ground and enforcing a certain order.
this is not a war against a specific enemy, it is a war against software that can easily be reproduced, hidden, and run.

Metas come and go, you just gotta get in while it's hot and not be caught holding the bag, or at least cash out regularly. Think back to a decade ago when the meta was to create stupid companies and farm VC money from Masayoshi Son. Everyone knew that shit was stupid at the time and it still made more than a few undeserving billionaires.
