How many of us use aliases in the crypto world? It's fascinating how biases related to sex, age, skin color, or body type seem irrelevant here—it's purely about your ideas and actions. I was on a call the other day, the presenter used a voice changer and there was no video. It felt freeing to engage purely based on the exchange of thoughts.
However, this anonymity has its downsides, it's easy to get scammed. Additionally, there are legal concerns, especially regarding taxation. Some countries are even reducing anonymity to prevent tax evasion. What do you think is a good balance between maintaining privacy and reducing potential misuse in the crypto space?
I will say raising awareness about the scams can be done using the factor of anonymity, crypto is full of anonymity but only a smart person can utilize this feature fully, so if a smart person is trying hard to remain anonymous then its means all the scammers are smart too. So you have to become smart as well. Otherwise, you can't outperform them and can't save yourselves from there tricks.
Knowledge is power, and once you know that these types of scams occur in the crypto space, then you can keep your anonymity and can save yourself from the scams. And talking about governmental factors like tax evasion, I don't know how people are using anonymity to save themselves from tax, but if they can, then government has to implement friendly taxation that people won't find alternatives which are risky too, and proper facilities should be provided to the citizen paying tax. Otherwise they won't agree to pay tax and find alternatives.
