The claim that "it was a matter of time before they started ordering them to order KYC" assumes inevitability without clear evidence. While KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements are standard in financial systems—such as crypto platforms like Changelly, which explicitly require KYC for compliance (Reddit link)[1]—the phrase "a matter of time" implies a deterministic outcome. However, regulatory frameworks, technological shifts, and business decisions are complex and not preordained. For example, some platforms resist KYC due to privacy concerns or jurisdictional challenges[2]. Is the claim rooted in regulatory pressure, technical feasibility, or a specific entity’s strategy?

The phrase "ordering them to order KYC" is also ambiguous. Does it refer to regulators mandating KYC, platforms enforcing it, or users being compelled? Without clarification, the claim risks conflating correlation (e.g., stablecoins and Visa) with causation. While KYC is a common tool for anti-money laundering[3], its adoption depends on context. Could there be alternative explanations for the observed behavior?

Questions remain: What specific "they" are we discussing? Are there precedents for this "inevitability"? How do jurisdictional differences impact KYC implementation?
