Perhaps expand on this into a blog post and post it here on HN...?
Even if the ship has sailed on living in an identity-optional society, at least in most of the world, I still think it's good to record the benefits of such a society.

I can't do it from this account and I might not be the best writer to get the points through, but yes, someone should probably do it.
Long version:
I don't think Georgia has copied what I think of as the mistake of KYC, yet at least.
I feel KYC regulations as they exist today are a big mistake, that does little good, more harm than good and causes a lot of extra work and annoyance.
People always seem to think that de-anonymizing things will always make things better.
As I get older I feel the more someone wants to know my real identify the more likely I am to be abused somehow.
Meanwhile, talking to thousands of absolute strangers here on HN or via an anonymous reddit account or something feels relatively safe.
I have also with time started to think that in the long run the risk from governments harming me or my family is a lot bigger than the risk that someone else does it.
