I need some legal advice here, I was going to make a community organization, but my father told me that I have to register the name. but I don't wanna use any kind of personal information for that for privacy reasons.

Is it possible to not give out personal info whilst registering an organization? and if not, do I really need to legally register the organization?

In this day and age you can prove that you're the person by using PGP/GPG, I thought it might be possible. but let me know.

You also need to be able to spend it, with usually implies giving your name and with larger sums also where that money comes from (anti money laundering laws).

IMHO it is unrealistic to run a non-mafia like organization anonymously.

P.S.: Don't do crypto-currency (inlcuding Monero). All pretty much a scam and actually detrimental to human society and the environment.

They can't prove to me that I'm doing money laundering if I'm using monero lol, and I don't care that much because I'm not doing illegal stuff anyway.

Actually you could be doing something illegal : tax fraud. Depends the country but you should be expected to pay revenue on income whether in the "official money" or crypto like Monero. (Basically they expect a little maths to calculate the conversion rate and then tax that. I think in France it's considered property so it's a flat tax after x amount.

I'll basically just have to pay tax, It's no big deal then
