This is so funny.

Like, yo, how? What does it even mean?

Cryptocurrency addresses don't have names or physical addresses. There is no recipient. It could be a multisig address with ten owners, it could be a smart contract, it could be fully computerised in which case the address is like some AWS datacenter somewhere, etc.

The idea that an address is under the control of a single person who lives at a single place is like, the entire concept that cryptocurrency was designed to eliminate, just layers of fluff on fluff.



If you want to send crypto in the Netherlands that’s you’re problem to solve. From Coinbase or other exchanges it’ll be as simple as denying the transfer if the requirements aren’t met. Just the same as wire or money transfers today.


I deny you the ability to read this comment using a Nike trainer.

It really makes no sense, lol.
