Hi guys, as many of you already know, many ICOs are asking for passport verification. Is it safe to give pictures of your passport to groups we don't even know well, I mean there is something called passport misuse and identity theft or even using you passport for loans! It is concerning.
There was no passport requirement in the old days, this kind of difficulty appeared in the near future, I certainly do not share my passport information, but the choice is yours.
The main argument that I hear though is that those ICO's that are requiring passports or ID for verification is trying to curb out multiple accounts joining their bounties. But I guess those cheaters will always find a way to get away with this new system in place. I haven't join any bounties but I'm not going to send my personal details to anyone. And for those who are willing to do so, its your risk and yes your choice. Many are going to bounties because they say its profitable, but guess what, your personal identification will now be compromise, but if you think that that's fine with you as long as you can get huge financial gains then the choice is yours.
