RIP Dutch exchanges and Bitcoin companies.

I Can't imagine anyone risking a payment or need to transfer their own funds, or quickly purchase a moonshot coin, to want to wait till someone checks and verifies which address they are sending it to, stores that address and provides the data to the Dutch government, and only then allows their withdrawal or purchase to go through on the blockchain.

This is exactly the kind of thing people are getting away from by joining the decentralized cryptocurrency world. You can guess what's coming next: These Dutch providers and Crypto exchanges will be obligated to block and confiscate funds from anyone, credit cards, ordinary banks using the SWIFT protocol or online payment systems, are also obliged to do due to e.g. US sanctions against certain people or entire nations.

Can't repeat it often enough: If you don't hold your keys, someone else holds your Bitcoins.
