00:00All bitcoin transactions and satoshis stats are fundamentally equal on the bitcoin network,

00:03regardless of whether they are associated with know your customer KYC procedures or not.

00:08Here are five reasons why there is no difference between KYC and non-KYC bitcoin,

00:12emphasizing the fungibility and equality of all stats on the network.

00:151. Asterisk asterisk fungibility of bitcoin asterisk asterisk on the bitcoin blockchain,

00:20every satoshi with smallest unit of bitcoin is indistinguishable from another in terms of

00:24functionality. The network does not differentiate between stats based on their origin, whether

00:28purchased through a KYC compliant exchange or acquired anonymously. Each satoshi carries the

00:33same value and can be used interchangeably for transactions.

00:362. Asterisk asterisk decentralized protocol asterisk asterisk bitcoin operates on a decentralized,

00:42permissionless protocol. The blockchain does not enforce or recognize KYC status.

00:47When a transaction is broadcast to the network, mine is validated based on cryptographic rules,

00:51not on whether the funds were obtained through KYC or non-KYC means.

00:543. All valid transactions are treated equally.

00:573. Asterisk asterisk no metadata stored on blockchain asterisk asterisk the bitcoin blockchain

01:03does not store KYC related information. It records only transaction details like addresses, amounts,

01:09and signatures. Whether a user went through KYC to acquire the bitcoin is external to the network and

01:14irrelevant to its operation, ensuring all sats are processed uniformly. 4. Asterisk asterisk universal

01:20spendability asterisk asterisk any bitcoin, whether KYC or non-KYC can be spent anywhere that accepts

01:25bitcoin, provided the transaction adheres to the network's consensus rules. The network itself imposes

01:31no restrictions based on the source of the funds, maintaining the principle that all sats are equal

01:35in terms of spendability. 5. Asterisk asterisk privacy is external to the protocol asterisk asterisk

01:41KYC is a regulatory requirement imposed by centralized entity exchanges and not a feature of the bitcoin network.

01:466. While KYC may tie personal information to bitcoin at the point of acquisition,

01:50this does not alter the bitcoin itself or its treatment on the blockchain.

01:537. Non-KYC bitcoin operates identically on the network, reinforcing the equality of all sats.

01:588. In summary, the bitcoin network treats all sats hushies the same regardless of KYC's status

02:03because its design prioritizes fungibility, decentralization, and privacy at the protocol level.

02:079. Any distinction between KYC and non-KYC bitcoin exists only in the context of external

02:12regulations or services, not within the bitcoin network itself.
