Re: How many BTC users actually care about privacy?
A very very small minority. Chances are, the majority don't even care about security(or are just totally ignorant) either. Hence why a lot of people still has their funds on Coinbase/Binance/etc.
The only other way to get BTC will be on the black market. Would that put you off?
Depends what you mean with black market specifically. Peer-to-peer exchanges such as HodlHodl[1], LocalCryptos[2], and Bisq[3] should be totally fine.

https://bisq.network/Very well said! The majority don't even care about security and probably they are totally ignorant, if they aren't they would learn more about how to protect themselves, and maybe they would realize how privacy can be important as well!
Nice point with mentioning peer-to-peer exchanges! Who searches will find a way to bypass the KYC rule... I don't use exchanges and casinos (where I am mostly active online) that have a mandatory KYC rule... who cares about them, I just delete them from my browser and forget about them!
