depend how likely you think a visit from the men with guns is doesn't it?
if you think they'll come looking for the money you've taken out of their system,
you don't want any KYC anything.

How would they know?
They'd know my details and that I bought some usdt or at some point bought some xmr. And then nothing.
exactly
they'll have a record of your purchases and they'll want their cut
taxes? sure, I do not mind.
Anyone else can get fucked.
thing is though cash is tax-free, cash in hand etc.
So, I mean, it's tax free intrinsically too, even to a merchant.
Merchants will have to register their business and do tax and stuff, I'm okay with that too. Why not, good business does good business.
You are fine so long as XMR doesn't go up in value vs the USD but as we've seen even a loaf of bread goes up in value substantially vs the USD.
The IRS will be used as a tool to make your Monero use less sovereign. You will be forced to reveal all your transactions to them under the guise of tax collection.
