Is buying non-kyc worth it?

I'm debating if I should buy kyc or non-kyc.

Kyc Pros:

  1. Ease of use
  2. Low fees

Kyc Cons:

  1. Doxxing my stash to exchanges, govs, and third parties (chain analysis firms)
  2. High hypothetical risks later (gov crackdown)
  3. Taxes

Non-kyc Pros:

  1. Privacy
  2. Safety in the event of a worst-case scenario (gov attack)
  3. No taxes

Non-kyc Cons:

  1. High fees & privacy premium
  2. Hassle to use

Non-kyc seems like a lot of trouble on top of a premium that's only rewarded in a worst-case scenario. However, if the gov attacks Bitcoin, it's the superior option. Also, I have no problem paying taxes. I'm simply saying high taxes are a potential attack vector. Ultimately, I feel like I'm betting on if the future will be hostile or friendly to Bitcoin. If friendly: kyc. If hostile: non-kyc.

Alternatively, I'm thinking of buying kyc and if anything bad happens, switch to non-kyc (2 separate stashes). Thoughts? My plan is to treat Bitcoin like a savings account. Hodl and that's it. I'll probably never use or move my coins for 10+ years.

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?
