Very interesting post. In movies made 50-60 years ago, it is always striking to see the different relationship with money people had. E.g.: if you want your child back, give me a suitcase with 1 million dollars. Nowadays there would be probably a limit imposed by banks to withdraw cash. I think my first digital transaction was with Bitcoin. Until then I was just using cash thanks to its nice anonymity property (every year, I had every new credit card application rejected anyway). If the government didn't create so much laws to make it impossible to buy bitcoins for edge cases like me, I would still be buying it with KYC.
