Yes, but we need to put more pressure on governments in regards to the sale of bitcoin being a taxable event.

There are many countries in the world where this is the law and if newcomers to Bitcoin have all purchased via KYC then they are not going to use it as a currency and are forced to hold it as a store of value.

Asking for government permission for "decentralized & permissionless" money is, to put it in nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9uju6mpd4czuumfw3jsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvql3tqm character's words, retarded.

In my words, it's just plain, fucking stupid and totally spineless.

You don’t get it. If a person of middle age who has many assets that they’ve built over a lifetime of hard work and also lives in a country that has a tax department that uses chain analysis and has got to the party of late and we’re required to provide KYC to purchase their BTC is rolling the dice and if and when caught in such a country are looking at a heavy tax burden.

It’s people in the above position that we need to get using BTC as currency and not just holding it as an asset.

If you don’t understand the above then you obviously not to experienced in the game of life.

I understand, but disagree.
