The rise of the no KYC exchanger

Unless they come up with the great plan of allowing only one registered Bitcoin address per person, which has huge privacy and security concerns.

That is going to be hard to do in some wallets that always generate new receiving address.
Let me remind that how they already banned wallets in some countries, that is all they need to do to force you to use only government approved wallet.

Many things are illegal already, and most people just avoid doing them. I don't want to break the law. Not because I necessarily agree with all laws we have, but I don't like the risk involved of doing so.

There must be a limit and common sense with being a law abiding citizen.
Otherwise you will soon have to comply with Bitcoin ban, or ban to go outisde because you rpoduce so much dangerous co2...

They can't ban mixing without banning Monero.

This ban would greatly help monero adoption

That's not really the point: nobody has to know my messages are not sensitive

In that case, neither the PGP solution satisfies your need, because PGP signals that the message is sensitive.

You misread my post. Let's try this: "nobody has to know I have nothing to hide" (I think this quote was part of a short cartoon, but I can't find it back). If you only encrypt the sensitive messages, that makes them stand out.

It does help greatly. What you want to hide is the transaction in this case, not who you are. Think of this: what would you feel more comfortable doing? Showing to the merchant that you have 1 BTC in change, or just showing them no change?

Good point. Whenever I pay with Bitcoin I indeed make sure the seller can't find out more about me on-chain.

There must be a limit and common sense with being a law abiding citizen.

This comes to mind:

“The closer the collapse of the Empire, the crazier its laws are.”

There must be a limit and common sense with being a law abiding citizen.

I'd rephrase that to: There must be a limit on the number of law abiding citizens. If you pass crazy laws, expect previously law abiding citizens to become outlaws.

You misread my post. Let's try this: "nobody has to know I have nothing to hide"

Unfortunately, they do. This is reality, because privacy comes with compromises you wouldn't rather have when you don't feel you need it. But, in my example, apart from the teacher themselves, nobody else has to know that you talked with them face-to-face. So, it can't stand out.
