The KYC requirement in many ICO projects has been the bone of contention of many investors and supporters with many thinking and feeling that this is not needed as this is the industry that proposes decentralization, anonymity and privacy. However, a project can argue that it is the law that requires them to know their customers and they are in fact just following the regulation. The problem is that KYC is not a guarantee that a project can never go down the coffin and run with the investors' money...maybe travelling to the "moon" and have an indefinite vacation in there until the victims can forget their misfortune of trusting them.
Now, if these project owners can require us to undergo the KYC process...should it not be rational that they themselves submit to the same so that we can be sure that we are dealing with real people with real address?
Few ICOs needed KYC because to protect investor come from United State, this country is illegal for their citizen to invest with bitcoin and altcoin, they not allowed for their people become ICOs investor because they mind ICOs have big way to scam, so all ICOs project want to adopt KYC and protect to investor participants come from United State, now have adopt KYC to bounty campaign participants to keep use multi account for joining bounty campaign.
