 Well, sure but the pressure to KYC has never been greater and will probably get considerably worse. The recent EU legislation is a case in point. Using the tools is only part of a solution. You also need to think long-term geopolitical arbitrage to not get fucked. 
 What you say makes sense. 
Do you also see the possibility that game theory will make 'zero KYC' options an attractive offering both for individual companies/merchants and for jurisdictions?

All one needs to do is to break the seal and recruit first followers like Sampson Maow (sp). is trying to do.  
 I think that not enough people care about the non-KYC principle to make offering it an attractive strategy for companies/jurisdictions. Sadly. I think the slow boil strategy of gradually tightening KYC is highly effective whether it's conscious or not. 
 sadly, I agree
sometimes I forget many people are not oriented to care.
