I still use LBRY. Any state actor can figure out who most of the Hive users are and it is clear that the law is not absolute but more of a pretext factory for preventing backlash while they jail, murder, and rob us. Kudos to @themarkymark . You were right. We were wrong. It's best to stay anonymous. It also means that you never cash out into fiat. Most of us are not prepared to operate that way.
We love to think we are invulnerable.
There are a number of people who are running nodes who are anonymous. A few others who are in places that the USG and EU cant get at them.
CZ is proving what a pain in the ass global can be.

I cash out to fiat no problem, I pay my taxes. I just don't have a need or desire to sell at this point.
I suppose you can trade Hive assets to Monero in a non-KYC exchange and then Monero can be used to eventually get fiat. That way, your real name and your Hive ID cannot be linked. We do, however, open ourselves to eventual identity theft by doing KYC in any context.
Using any third party service (crypto or otherwise) opens you up to identity theft. Just being secure is not enough, most of the time it is a third party that is leaking your information.
Well, yes someone could if I am not careful with my keys or password, I could lose my leprechaun account. I meant people misusing scans of my government issued ids and taking out loans for amounts I'd never dream of doing!

I am talking about companies having data leaks constantly.
