KYC and BTC are diametrically opposed concepts. One advocates privacy and non-stalking, while the other aims to reach out publicly to their credentials. Yes, you can use BTC without KYC, but most bounties or similar charities will be abused because KYC is a requirement.
They do KYC was because they need to know their customer and also to know if the person was the same as other person who participant in the bounty campaign. From privacy, it was okay because sometimes the manager will be the want who need the info and for that, there are a lot of people who do KYC too so it was like Facebook account information only and not all of your information in life.
KYC is for campaigns and bounties that tend to be abuse by participants. KYC is for the identity of participants and crypto, in general, has nothing to do with this. Cryptocurrency is a mostly anonymous transaction that does not require any KYC.KYC benefits the campaign manager, exchanges banks and government in general because once identified, taxes will follow.
