haha yeah... so, i'm working on an arweave project until recently... and for curiosity i tried to buy some AR tokens

the most recommended vendor required KYC so i declined

less than two weeks later i get an email from them telling me their were hacked and heaps of people's KYC data was leaked

i don't blame anyone for not wanting to do KYC

there WILL be vendors out there in other jurisdictions seizing on this opportunity, but finding them, and being able to evaluate if you can trust them is gonna suck

but overall, in the next year i expect there will be such a strong demand for purchase of cryptos without KYC that at least one jurisdiction of note is going to open it up... maybe switzerland, at least, since they aren't EU
