Privacy is one thing, KYC is another.
KYC deanonymizes you (anonymity not privacy).
The lack of privacy in most "cryptos" further compounds the problems because now you are not just pseudonymous with no privacy, you are not anonymous with no privacy.
This is why #monero matters and has always mattered: your privacy is always protected, and onchain your anonymity is protected as well.
If you have to KYC, better do it with something that gives you transactional privacy while on and offramping from that service.
Unfortunately, as anyone with half a brain would have successfully predicted, once the powers that be could depseudoanonymize people on fully transparent chains, anything else (that does not provide total control/surveillance) was bound to be demonized.
And *that* only became possible because millions of retards thought it would be a great idea to plaster their every financial transaction to an eternal wall with full transparency.
