You are right, i think it will be best if they create preferences for users, like those with minimum amount to invest can bring little or no proof of identification, in my opinion, KYC should be for those with huge amount to invest because when it comes to scrutiny from the authorities, huge investments is what they aim at, so i see no much reason why such is needed
These days KYC is getting much easier. Only thing is team needs to be careful about choosing a right partner to do this in an efficient manner.
Most crypto community guys do hate kyc although we have to realise that it is for our good and most times it doesn't take most of our time.
