You're a bit crazy. Without custodianship Bitcoin will never scale.
A bit? He have no idea about what he's talking...

It's not about "without custodianship". It is about "not without custodianship". The existence of KYC is fine - the idea that one day no "no KYC" options are left is sickening.
And it's not crazy at all. If there is no wallet without KYC left (remember that wallets are essentially just basic mathematics + internet, why the does that need kyc) I could just go right back to Paypal and invest in other hard assets as real estate or stocks.
Nobody asks me for my id or phone number when I buy a croissant at the bakery with bills and coins. So sad to see that even in a bitcoin website people don't see that an online equivalent is necessary.
