What confuses me is say you want to make a big sale of Bitcoin in the future to sell a small percentage of your stack for something that will directly benefit you in real life (car, house, etc.) Then how would the Bitcoin be utilized? If it’s non KYC that’s great, but where’s the utility in it if you’re just gonna get questioned by whatever jurisdiction you find yourself in? I have not been able to figure this out.

either you are in the matrix or you don't.
The plan is to get people out, not getting us in again.
our job as bitcoiners is to get as many people we can, so we have a relevant market to be on our side and can ignore the KYCed ones.
I agree with you in general, but it doesn’t seem the most practical way to me. Whether we like it or not, we are still governed by laws we do not choose. We are all subject to them and will face punishment if we do not abide unfortunately
that's what privacy is for.
everybody has their own level of accepted risk.
you can always vote with our feet and switch to other country if they turn into a totalitarian state.
Fair. We need to keep this going to the point where places accept direct payment in Bitcoin for these large purchases. Vote with our feet indeed. Level up your skills, utilize remote work, seek out visas and permanent residencies
if I handed you a bar of gold (or you happen to find it in your backyard) would you be concerned about being questioned upon spending it?
My point with all of this is that I don’t think my thoughts are necessarily relevant. I think I WOULD be questioned. Banks question everything, even cash deposits over a certain amount that in the bigger picture really aren’t even big amounts at all.
