I think people on HN underestimate how easy it is to accidentally build a money laundering system —- which NBA Top Shot did and now has to correct with KYC checks.

Oh, I understand the "why", but seems to me NBA Top Shot is the one that underestimated how easy it is to build a money laundering system.

And, suddenly requiring KYC checks of all users--irrespective of amounts involved and without an option for refunds--isn't the most customer-friendly way to "correct" their oversight.
