Which is why I think that the best solution is to simply verify via SMS and link the account that way.

This totally ignores one of the most important arguments against it: privacy! At best, I could use a prepaid number, which means I have to add balance at least twice a year. If I forget it, I lose the number, and thus access to my account.

Well, then this is not for you like I don't feel like staking my Bitcoin address would be something that would be beneficial to me. Especially if I have to wait for long periods of time for my account to be reinstated. But I believe that lots of users in this forum would be relieved to have that option. You want to remain completely anonymous, okay, I get it. I'm not suggesting a mandatory security measure here. I'm suggesting an option that would benefit me as many other users who prefer to lose part of their anonymity in favor of not losing their account and frankly, I don't know why we keep circling back to the issue of anonymity here. Privacy should be people's right, and to me this means they should be able to give some of it away if they wish in exchange for something more beneficial to them.
