 I trust in the incentives to work it all out.

A jurisdiction can't stop their people using bitcoin but they can shut themselves off from it's benefits. We've seen that in a few countries already. Eventually they realize their mistake & pivot.

KYC can be a threat to the individual but there are many ways to hedge this risk & the state has the odds against them.

There is much chaos ahead for humanity, but there's also a lot to be excited for. The dysfunction will get louder as the system approaches collapse. Bitcoin is the least of their problems right now.
