The collateral is not for preventing spam, it's for preventing you from being rugged. Otherwise someone could set up a trade with cash by mail for example where you send the money and the trading partner simply doesn't send you the btc. You would have no chance to get either your money back nor the btc.

That's my understanding of the need for a collateral.

But if you know a btc meet-up near you maybe could get some kyc free sats for your first trade from there. If ever possible avoid kyc.
