Good or bad, "no KYC/AML" is not an option. If governments decide Bitcoin can’t provide KYC/AML, Bitcoin will be nuked from orbit.

You are over-estimating the power of governments. The last Chinese ban is a good example of how governments might not be able to ban crypto. Smaller economies will have a harder time too.

KYC is fine at the edges already wherever crypto meets fiat. That would be the same here right?
