>The best balance I can come up for crypto is to mandate KYC at all on and off ramps

That would drive the value basically to zero, since the entirety of all crypto market caps are based on their ability to facilitate digital crimes.

One, KYC in America does nothing for the rest of the world. Two, we know that’s not true. The aforementioned hedge funds could keep the flywheel going on their own.

Name one single use of Bitcoin that legitimizes the trillion dollar market cap, and that fiat currency doesn't provide in a safer, more legitimate way. The "sneaking across the border with my life savings" scenario doesn't count. That has nothing to do with the current market cap of Bitcoin.

Taking that as a 'no', then. Please back your own claims.
