If I understand the discussion correctly:

Your opinion is that the benefits of KYC (safety) outweigh the downsides of KYC (giving up liberty).

The other poster's opinion is that the downsides outweigh the benefits.

There is a quote out there regarding those who would sacrifice liberty to obtain safety, but it slips my mind at the moment.

Careening at 90 miles per hour through a school zone crosswalk as kids dive out of the way: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Yawn. If that were truly analogous to the current topic, rather than a gross exaggeration, the analogy would be unnecessary.

Replace "Careening at 90 miles per hour through a school zone crosswalk as kids dive out of the way" with the actual topic of "Spending your money on legal things without government tracking and control".

Your point is understood that you personally prefer one thing to another, compared to another person preferring the opposite.

		And if you were truly able to attack my position on its merits you wouldn't need to keep stripping out all specifics to build a straw man, but here we are! (Also, the analogy would only be necessary if it were… not analogous to the topic at hand? That makes no sense.)
