I get where you’re coming from. I’m very “middle way” about this.

The privacy of non-kyc is something everyone should have the freedom to utilize. There also need to be as many easy on-ramps to self custodied Bitcoin as possible.

We also need to remember the massive range and diversity of Bitcoin users in the future. I may be comfortably KYC’d in the northeastern USA and not really need to worry about my sovereignty, but the billions of people living in less-free countries don’t necessarily have the luxury of being comfortable with KYC.
