Boating accidents are a meme created by Monero bros almost a decade ago. This meme caught on and because its idea is so powerful Bitcoiners repurposed it for their own propaganda without realising that one can not move Bitcoin anymore after a boating accident without criminalising oneself.
If you have no KYC Bitcoin you don't need to stage a boating accident. If you have KYC Bitcoin a boating accident is basically a lifteime freeze of your Bitcoin, meaning your potential purchasing power is now zero despite you still holding the keys.
Monero doesn't give a fuck about KYC or not. It's above the law. Fake boating accidents only make sense when you don't lose the purchasing power.
