KYC are done to prevent members of some countries from participating in ICO because it is illegal over there. Does your country permit you to participate in ICO?
Well, KYC really is important for most of the projects out there because they are just trying to protect their name and the reputation of their projects. Although it may be quite a hassle for almost everyone in this industry, it clearly is for the greater good of the project itself and the supporters and investors who are in it. In our country it hasn't been declared illegal yet which is why I and a lot of my friends are taking advantage of this moment.
