I have a dedicated server. I have been paying for it for many years with bitcoin via Bitpay without a hitch.
The last payment in December was successful as well.
Yesterday they asked me for registration and then asked to pass KYC! Cryptocurrency billing that lets me pay with bitcoin asked for identification: document, selfie.
Are they completely crazy? Huh  We need a billing that does not hurt our privacy I say.

The essence  of being anonymous by using crypto is now gone and I'm wondering why they implement that? does they encounter some malicious activities which might create a huge problem to them in future? or are  they ruling  to regulate their users now? since if this is the case well this is not totally good especially for person who are so conscious about their identification. Maybe its best to find another alternative if you don't  like those updates came from them OP.
