You can read in the bitcoin whitepaper that the things that many people are worried about have been predicted in such a way by satoshi, so it is very important to maintain the purity of bitcoin.

And I think we are losing the purity of Bitcoin right now. It looks like the government wants to destroy everything that makes Bitcoin a Bitcoin. They want to tax it, they want everyone KYCd, they ban mixers and they create trouble for companies or people who use bitcoin.

you said that bitcoin is not being used as a currency (although it is being used as a currency but by few people and the reason is very simple: it is not people's fault when in their countries governments do not put laws on bitcoin in a way that allow merchants in your country accept bitcoin as a method of payment, it's not people's fault when in their countries governments don't put laws that allow all people to receive their wages in bitcoin, that all people can get their wages deducted in bitcoin for taxes and life pensions. people are not to blame for all this, they can only keep putting pressure on their countries' governments to create good laws about bitcoin

now you can't kid yourself thinking that some government would tell people in your country to pay wages in bitcoin too, pay all bills in bitcoin, buy anything in your country and pay in bitcoin and not be asked for KYC, if FIAT has kyc then it was obvious that bitcoin would also need kyc, because bitcoin is a currency that has value and people can use bitcoin for money laundering, so about kyc we should not be surprised by this, the introduction of kyc in this market was expected and people shouldn't think that this is something they can get around, on the contrary kyc is here to stay forever
