> If social credit systems are to work, we need KYC and centralized ID.

I think we need KYC. That doesn't mean centralized ID. As far as social credit systems is concerned, I take it you are being humorous, but I don't think there's much that's amusing about "social credit".

Only the seller and buyer need to know each other. Anything beyond, is shoe-in for tyranny.

For this you have cash or bartering.

Regulation is not synonymous with tyranny. This is a dumb position and the people who hold it are dumb.
