You can't even get a bank account without an ID

All the more reason to ensure we support cash as a means of transacting in daily life.

If we're talking daily participation, you don't (or shouldn't) need ID. For one off events like registration or entry, then ID is a fair requirement (sometimes).

I don't know who is arguing for bank accounts without ID though.
