It's nice to see such a detailed and worked post. I personally follow what you preach: it's been a long time since I've worked with any centralized exchange and when I did in the past KYC wasn't compulsary at least in that exchange so my real identity isn't linked to my Bitcoin holdings. I hope that this post will serve to educate many people, although I'm afraid that the majority adoption will go through the centralized institutions. Those of us who will continue to use bitcoin according to Satoshi's original idea we will be a minority.
