I am sure you can make a more efficient banking system if you don't do any checks at all. That's not an interesting observation.
Yup. Most crypto maximalists are unknowingly (knowingly?) aligned with terrorists and other criminals looking for anonymity online skirting existing banking rules.
That's complete nonsense, although they do reasonably believe that money transmission is a fundamental human right. In contrast, bad people like you would charge them for oxygen if they could.
I don’t want to charge people for money. I’m just leery of the I must be anonymous in everything crowd. I’m pro encryption, I’m also pro KYC and other anti money laundering programs — I do think the industry could be disrupted a bit though the exchange fees are egregious. Most of it is just going to profit margin and by activities that are just rent seeking.
You're leery because you've been privileged in that you have not been victimized or unfairly targeted for your actions. Money laundering is a fake/made-up liberty-stealing concept by corrupt people that want to enslave others and tell them what they cannot do. If you think that Monero and stablecoins are equivalent to the other things you named, you are not even very educated.
Are you aware of the Coinbase customer data leak that happened this year? It revealed cryptocurrency balances, names, and home addresses. It was a disaster for the customers who will now risk kidnappings and death threats from extortionists. This nightmare was a direct result of KYC. It would have been a non-issue without KYC in a stablecoin economy.
Please spare me the tears. At risk groups, minorities, etc have over the years gained many protections and will continue to do so. You write as if crypto is the only thing around to save the lives of these folks when it's instead used for grey and black market things mostly.
I was hoping we could find common ground in destroying the margins the payment processors rake in ... and still do KYC while still knowing that crypto is otherwise used for quick gains and is more or less just a Ponzi scheme.

Money laundering is an ill-defined made-up concept. Anyone can get accused of it without evidence and suffer disastrous consequences, without the actions. If is a discriminatory act used by fascists to deny people their rights. Who are you to tell anyone how they can spend their money. You are so full of hate that you think other people must do as you say and be servile to you, even if it means taking their liberties away without cause. Well they won't.
