Yes, and our information is really valuable to some businesses. Bitmex was also recently condemned for issuing KYC by users to sell to other businesses.
So now providing KYC is really dangerous and we shouldn't do it for a few dollars. Think of the far future and the higher goals.
Trading websites require KYC to maintain their website because that is required by the law. I think our identity is safe on a bigger and legitimate exchange, just like what you said, which is Bitmex. What I don't like is ICO and bounties that are requiring KYC. First of all, they are not proving themselves if they are legitimate or not. And for the user, there's no guarantee that their personal information is safe from those ICO and newly startup crypto business.
