Thanks for the info.
Seems like people should split their assets up to avoid the KYC thing.

Or use only Monero, the data protection, privacy, anonymity, untraceability coin.

Saved and noted. Sounds good, but I also heard there was the problem that there is no maximum limit to the number of Monero coin that can be produced - thus creating problems I fully don't comprehend about scarcity etc..

For example, I'm running a $1000 CAD CPU and it's going to take me a full year to mine a single XMR, which is worth US$ 215 at the moment. That's not counting the RAM or the motherboard, etc. because I can still use the computer for other things while it's mining. 16 cores / 32 threads will do that for you. Still, counting power I won't get my investment back in 5 years' time.

I'm also mining Ethereum, and for that, CAD$2500 worth of hardware is grossing me US$ 320 per month, or CAD $ 480, minus power for a net of 361 a month. But back when this equipment was bought, I was grossing CAD $800 a month with it.

Completely different ball game. The supply of XMR is not constrained as per the coin, but the hardware requirements are the real constraint.
