 So if you’re worried about a 6102 why would you buy bitcoin kyc?

 The convenience of KYC networks today is worth more than the damage I'd incur if a 6102 fully wipes out my KYC UTXOs

 That’s kinda what annoys me though. If bitcoin is ‘freedom tech’ and the majority of it is kyc’d, and therefore if governments go apeshit and 6102 or make it illegal, then it isn’t freedom tech at all for anyone other than the small minority that have non-kyc stashes of size

 Yes, but it beats waiting indefinitely until non-KYC options are accessible to everyone.  The cat & mouse game of cybersecurity never ends, there will never be a winner, only imbalances, but mass ignorance is a major handicap for the freedom-tech side in the current state of the game.
