I generally think it's a cup half empty vs half full situation. If I buy small amounts via an exchange, and immediately spend to a mint, then at least things stay consistent. If I buy small amounts kyc free, I could be buying from a known criminal. That could look even more shady. Also, why do I need buying bitcoin to be kept a secret? As long as the coins lead to a mint and disappear, what's the diff? Buying bitcoin is not a crime.

I think this totally depends on individual perspectives.
Depending on your view of the future, your expectations of it, you might want to hide this info. 🤷♂️

Fortunately, using a mint to get started is the easiest way to onboard people.
UI is getting better for sure.
I am also trying to make a small doc/article to help people use the benefits of bitcoin.
I think UX and comfort matters a lot.
But don't forget to learn history too 🫡
