KYC on every Bitcoin transaction is the default. It does not have to be. The infrastructure for self-custody without identity disclosure exists — it just isn't sold to you, because the people who would sell it don't profit from your privacy.
This site documents the operational stack. Full-node setups for verification without trust. KYC-free acquisition paths — peer-to-peer markets, mining at home, freelance income paid in BTC. Tor and Lightning for transaction privacy. The discipline of separating identity from wallet history.
