KYC account trading is touted as an unspoken rule in the industry, but this practice is illegal in many countries, and in some places, it can even be classified as "driver's license fraud."



Regardless of what the law says, from a business logic perspective, trading KYC accounts inherently has issues. According to industry research, over 80% of crypto users have never engaged in such transactions, and most platforms still officially adhere to compliance.

Don't simply project the unspoken rules of the "毛圈" (meme circle) onto the entire crypto industry. The incident in 2022 when Algod purchased a KYC account in the Bahamas was widely condemned online, and the industry consensus was very clear. Fast forward to 2026, and suddenly it’s considered an "industry unspoken rule"? This reversal of perception doesn’t hold much logical ground.

80% of people haven't done it, and they're still talking about "unspoken rules," lol. It's just that group of people who blow smoke every day and hype themselves up.

On-chain data is right there, 80% of people have never even touched this thing, yet a small group of people have been hyping it up as an unwritten rule. I've seen this trick too many times.

This is a typical case of "the few do something and the majority mythologize it," really packaging illegal activities as unwritten rules. Are you kidding? 80% of people haven't even touched it, and you're still shamelessly claiming it's an industry norm? In 2022, everyone united to oppose it. How did they change their tune in just four years? Who's really leading the narrative? But to be honest, truly compliant platforms should have shut this down long ago.

2022 was full of flaws, and now why are we collectively forgetting? --- Basically, a trick by a few people has been packaged as an industry consensus, which is really absurd. --- 80% haven't even touched it, this data directly exposes the lie of "unspoken rules." --- And blaming the drivers, these people are really not afraid at all. --- I still remember the Argona incident; has it really been just a few years and it's already over? --- Everyone who plays with coins knows, it's just the old trick of cutting leeks with a different excuse. --- Stop whitewashing illegal activities here, it's pointless. --- 80% haven't done it, and you insist this is an unspoken rule? The logic is dead. --- From condemnation to unspoken rules, crypto people really have a good memory.

80% of people have never even touched this thing, how did it become an unspoken rule... so funny The driver's guilt is right here, and you still want to play with fire? The controversy that sparked nationwide criticism in 2022, and now it's just "industry consensus"? This cognitive reversal is incredible What are you pretending for? It's just a few people shouting over there Don't be fooled by the people cutting leeks; this is an illegal business There are still people wanting to get in, their courage is really big

Haha, really, what do you mean by "unspoken rules"? It's just illegal. --- 80% of people haven't done it, so how did it become an industry standard? That logic is ridiculous. --- That Algod thing was just a few years ago, and now they're changing their tune? --- You're right, you can't apply the tricks of gray-area industries to the crypto world. --- The fact that drivers are being blamed here—how can they still boast about unspoken rules? --- Can't hold it in anymore, the issues criticized in 2022 are now considered consensus in 2026. --- Most platforms are compliant, but some still insist on taking alternative routes. --- This kind of cognitive reversal can really confuse newcomers. --- How can something that isn't illegal become an unspoken rule... it's a bit ironic. --- One word to sum it up: whitewashing.
