Hello everyone, masulum has PMed me to respond here.
First, many thanks @masulum for your translation to your local board.
I like it when helpful content is translated to local boards.
I've read all the replies but much is lost in translation, so sorry if I'm not getting some points in an accurate way. Indonesian to English translation is very challenging for Google Translate.
Menurut agan KYC butuh tidak? Berguna tidak?
Jadi sebenarnya KYC itu tidak berguna, atau banyak pihak yang meminta KYC tapi tidak kompeten dalam mengamankan data-data KYC-nya?
My main point of this article is to point out why KYC for crypto is
- useless
and
- dangerous
It's
useless because it doesn't stop "money laundering and terrorism financing". Criminals won't have any difficulties to pass KYC (they can use faked or stolen documents or hacked / stolen already verified accounts). For sure, such strategies to pass KYC will be improved when there's more money to make (and that's expected for the digital market). I see an huge incentive for criminals to get access to KYC-verified accounts.
KYC is not stopping them, it's just
dangerous for normal users who are forced to do KYC because their accounts will be attacked. Identities will be stolen and used by criminals. Several other fraud can be commited with KYC ("KYC-Scams") etc.
After my research I believe KYC is 100% useless to prevent (professional) criminal acivity. If someone wants to commit crime, no KYC will stop him.
Precisely, this question is covered and answered very detailed in the OP.
Banyak orang ragu melakukan KYC pada suatu pihak yang tidak jelas. Namun untuk pihak yang sudah jelas dan kompeten, apakah mereka juga bisa dipercaya?
Exactly, even top exchanges can be hacked (like it happened for Binance) and user data was stolen. With KYC-data and verified accounts becoming more valuable for criminals, there will be a steadily growing incentive to obtain them - no matter if hacked, scammed or faked.
The whole problem is digitalized identity data submitted (and sometimes also stored) online to a central entity.
Agak berbeda dari paragraf pembuka yang ane kuote tadi yang misleading, judulnya juga misleading.
Ya sudah ane kira jawabannya sudah jelas.
Where is it misleading?!?
It's actually how it is and parts of your posts are hard to understand, so I don't want to make wrong assumptions what's your point? We are talking about online KYC for crypto exchanges, Shitcoin ICOs, Bounties etc here.
When I did my research I was extremely surprised how much incentive there is already to obtain KYC relevant stuff for fraud (or even selling it). That's endangering all other users, the 99,9% honest ones.
If someone has more questions, please ask.
And I've awared some Merit.
