It's really as simple as: if you want to be an asset that has considerable value compared to US Dollars -- either go it alone (that is without US Dollar investment) or follow the same rules (CSAM bars, AML, KYC and sanctions) as USD.
Not sure which path is best right now. But that's only because I generally follow USD regulations as currently crafted. However, remember I was introduced to bitcoin because of anti-poker legislation in the US.
Eventually, yes we won't care about USD convertibility.

Most people just can't make the leap from money to don't trust. Virtually everyone alive today (i.e. , all those in the US born post 1925) has no experience with bearer instrument money. Many are like my wife, "I trust Fidelity to hold my money (bitcoin) more than I trust me to not lose it."
Fortunately, for those that trust Fidelity, Fidelity Crypto has a very nice product that is remarkably similar to an ETF whereby you purchase bitcoin (or actually engage them to purchase bitcoin on your behalf), they take all responsibility for securing it in a set of secure wallets and allocate to your account the fiat exchange rate of the coins you have purchased.
It's not ideal but for those that cannot conceive of money without banks/centralized authorities, it's a start.

Maybe a sort of lightning testnet/sandbox where we could challenge kids to play a game based on building a bitcoin-like environment and trying to hack it.
For example, if there are 30 kids in a class/lab, what would be the minimum number of bits for a private key to assure no collisions?
Building a hashing app/program to create the most leading zeros from a hash in the least amount of time using the least amount of energy.
Your role is villain and your aim is to hack the network and steal everyone's coins.

With the mempool clogged beyond belief due to the juvenile antics of the ordinals/inscriptions gang, I would remind folks that Strike offers free transfers to your own wallet provided you are willing to wait up to twelve hours.

I just dreamt that we, those living and those that have finished their work here, were having a traditional holiday dinner and everyone was enjoying lively and stimulating conversation, about us, not about world events that we had only heard about through mass media (aka propaganda).
For a few hours, we had set aside all differences and especially grievances and we were just enjoying the company of loved ones. We were even planning for the future.
