KYC doesn’t mean handing over your data and getting doxxed

Sad day for privacy. KYC is always going to be required for crypto cards, and leaks will keep happening.

You cannot protect the wallet address your card is linked to, but you can protect the addresses used to deposit to that crypto card with something like @0xprivacypools

To me, it feels like a private decentralized message board should already exist in this world, yet it didn't until now.

This is a demonstration of something new Aztec enables - anonymous accounts are linked to small ETH deposits. Each board can define its own moderation rules, accounts that are flagged are rate-limited.

My goal for rolling.chat is for it to be community-led and for the community to direct how the platform evolves. There is a lot we can do in the future with reputation systems and governance to expand on the concepts currently implemented.
rolling.chat rollingchat · Say it in public. Stay private. An anonymous message board with public conversations and private participation. Post, reply and build with Bok, the AI assistant in every thread.

🇵🇾 Chaos on the streets as Paraguay’s largest digital bank collapses

Nearly 3 million customers affected as the country faces a major political and financial crisis.

Paraguay’s Central Bank (BCP) seized Ueno Bank, the country's largest digital lender, after its solvency ratio collapsed to less than half the legal limit.

Central Bank President Carlos Carvallo resigned at the request of President Santiago Peña. Carvallo previously chaired the finance company that evolved into Ueno Bank, drawing heavy criticism over regulatory blind spots and conflicts of interest.

The Specialized Unit for Economic Crimes and Anti-Corruption ordered the detention of eight high-level executives and figures tied to the bank, including founder and majority shareholder Miguel Vázquez and Ueno Bank President Juan Manuel Gustale.

The intervention completely froze Ueno Bank’s digital app, credit cards, and transfer capabilities. This has locked out roughly 3 million users, an estimated 60% of Paraguay's adult population, leaving many with no immediate way to access their money.

The state health and pension fund (IPS) has an estimated $380 million in public retirement funds invested in Ueno Bank.

Angry citizens, savers, and pensioners flooded the streets of the capital and gathered outside closed branches, demanding their cash and chanting for political accountability.
