If you’re trying to flee your country, KYC vs Non-KYC could be the difference between safe emigration and indefinite holding in a cell until capital-gains is paid.
For those doxed on an exchange whose records are hacked, the difference could be anonymous existence vs. a burglar showing up at your door with a hammer.
There may not be a big difference at the moment in the US, but Bitcoin exists for the people around the world who need freedom of movement and freedom from oppression. Telling people that you have access to a tool will partly negate the value of that tool…by putting you at risk
