Episode notes
BIS Proposes AML Scoring For UTXOs
- The BIS proposes AML 'compliance scores' for UTXOs based on chain provenance to block off-ramps.
- This plan treats on-chain history as a diagnostic tool to allow or deny cashing out at banks and exchanges.
Hold Your Keys And Use Non‑Custodial Wallets
- Do take custody of your Bitcoin and run non-custodial wallets to reduce regulator control and surveillance.
- Avoid leaving large balances on exchanges if you want to resist off-ramp based restrictions.
Protocol Limits Force External Enforcement
- The BIS idea can't be implemented at the Bitcoin protocol level because satoshis/UTXO semantics don't support embedding persistent scores.
- They could, however, apply wallet-level conventions or legal enforcement to coerce adoption.
