KYC is a double edged sword. On the one hand people dont like
giving up their information to every shady company in crypto that asks for it, and then on the other hand if crypto is to go "mainstream" certain things like kyc and other regs are going to be required like any other financial instrument. So it's a case of you cant have your cake and eat it too
It's true, KYC doesn't bring any benefit for us but required for Exchanger in order to fulfill AML policy mandatory by government or just in case if govs impose taxes for cryptocurrency transaction as not every country enforce these rules like in the U.S.
Nevertheless, there is nothing we can do about it if want to trade bitcoin or withdraw fiat money, even if the ask for a picture of yourself or selfie Photo while holding your id. Blah, it's sickening.
But, don't just give your private information to every shadow company in crypto which you can find it mostly in Altcoins sections for a startup project.
Just fulfill the documents for something important and urgent that you can't avoid.
