Honestly, it feels like users are losing lately.

You can't onramp without an account. You can't get an account without KYC.

Then, your information leaks and you're in danger of being targeted for serious crime as a result.

You also are constantly targeted for scams in a battle where your average user is woefully outmatched by scammers.

The playing field isn't level. Victims have little to no recourse.

Honestly, it just makes you feel kind of helpless. Even if you aren't a victim yet, these companies already have your information and it seems like it's just a waiting game until you are.

Even if you deleted your account with them, their database still has your data.
