I detest government influence on Bitcoin. Initially, I thought it was anonymous means of transfer of value that I could use to do business with people all over the world PRIVATELY and perhaps no one would know what I'm doing, especially my corrupt politicians. But what we have today is Bitcoin that is increasingly becoming another central bank. Would you find a way around KYC is you could?

I think it's only to limit exchange users for certain countries and to increase withdrawal limits, so you don't need to worry they will definitely not abuse our identity so far. Actually, I personally often do KYC in several exchanges but my identity is still safe until now.
