Thanks for the reply.
I was not talking about myself, but normal people that might have or not some bitcoin and their spending habits of bitcoin. This is the challenge.
You cannot tell a normal person, just go buy yourself some non-KYC'd bitcoin. A very good chance is that their onboarding will happen on an exchange which will require KYC.
That's the point I am trying to convey. Instead of waiting for the normies and the politicians to "do something", do something yourself and arrange your affairs so that you are less affected by what the normies and politicians do. Then you will feel less sad or frustrated about how slow bitcoin adoption is going.
And, yes, you can tell normal people that they can buy bitcoin at a local meetup or with vouchers from azte.co or whatever. Most of them won't do it, but some might.

Westerners (especially Americans and Britons) have been conditioned from birth to obey the Authorities, and to view anything other than blind, unquestioning allegiance to the State as unpatriotic. Ironically, Americans persist in believing that they are free and independent, when the opposite is true.

You can sell them some peer-to-peer bitcoin yourself, though, after having them set up an initial self-custody wallet.
