Sorry for late reply. Busy busy. I appreciate your views.
The requirement for KYC just means the surveillance is at a lower level than Primal and Stripe govt. Question is are they companies deliberately inserted to surveil a new tech space? I think possibly. It is how govt likes to work.
Fully KYC or not these things tend to change incrementally. The boiling lobster thinks it's having a relaxing spa til it ain't anymore.
Also newbs will enter real data and eventually it could deny access unless you verify email and perhaps more. One user I spoke with here on Nostr said he was unable to withdraw funds also without registration. Havent corroborated that fully so it's dubious but something to keep an eye on.
