Yes, but we need to put more pressure on governments in regards to the sale of bitcoin being a taxable event.

There are many countries in the world where this is the law and if newcomers to Bitcoin have all purchased via KYC then they are not going to use it as a currency and are forced to hold it as a store of value.

I trust you are using "bitcoin" as general for crypto as you can own many types of crypto without counter-party risk. Artificially short blocks are NOT natural incentives IMHO or due to them unless the goal was to make it unusable as digital cash replacement.

Nor is a 100% trackable "digital cash" at all a boon. It would make a pretty awesome base for a CBDC though once governments gained control of block validation.
