You're reading into things I didn't say. I don't claim that KYC will protect people--I claim that the regulations that do protect people go hand in hand with KYC. Crypto as the libertarian dream of government-free "money" will never go beyond libertarians. Crypto as a broader-scale augment to existing financial systems? Who know?

The one exchange who has been operating entirely within US jurisdiction and laws; trying to be as bank-like as possible, following all the rules.
