I am seeing the KYC option as an option that is not serious or bad for us as users, well maybe for users who are Whales, maybe if they feel some fear of leaving their data on the web or even within a platform , because their greatest fear is that they can leak that data and it comes to them to steal it,
Because you don't get the point why KYC is so dangerous in other way around, and how serious identity theft is. Imagine getting calls from some random company or guy trying to talk to me about crypto is too weird for me on phone calls
(that's my experience, because of ledger hack recently)It doesn't need to be a whale or not, an exposed personal info could lead you in danger, inconvenience and many more.
but at the same time the benefits of KYC help a lot when the account can be hacked, through KYC it can also be recovered. Before, I gave a lot of importance to anonymity, now I don't care, anonymity is already being removed opco by opco, in all the platforms that I have entered, in most of them 98% always look for KYC.
KYC doesn't work like that. Even a hacked account can be recovered via email only or mobile number only. KYC isn't a thing before, but there's already hacking yet account recovery is possible.
I'm not against KYC because i've submitted my info too on my local exchange for crypto to fiat transaction. But people need to be responsible of their own personal data, that don't just give it just because you dont care anonymity or most casino platform or exchange require it. Exercise your due diligence at least on what platform you should give your info.
