This is why people here stress you should buy bitcoin without KYC. Privacy is essential!
KYC is bad and should be avoided at all costs.
At very least, XMR swap, or mix your coins!
KYC is not bad because its the way to determine the people background. Its purpose is to detect any fraud that involves money laundering etc. Its just bad on crypto space since most of the project here doesnt have the capacity to safely store the data of their consumers thats why undergoing KYC on crypto projects is dangerous but KYC purposes itself is good if you are a law abiding citizen since your privacy is safe if the company handling it is license and trusted due to the confidentiality clause for the KYC procedure.
Yeah in a perfect world I guess but it's not just about hacks, it's about governments trying to be like Big Brother watching everything. Hell, I'm against it on principle of "I don't want anyone knowing how much money I have because it's none of their business!"
In fact, it's not even about "safety" it's more so about control. All this KYC stuff is the result of 9/11 'paranoia' in our government, and other people in our government used the opportunity to push for less privacy. It's all hogwash. We don't need KYC, it does more harm than good.
Bitcoin is supposed to be like cash, a digital payment method, it's not supposed to have a name to every wallet. Some anoninimity was intentional by design. Anyways, there will come a time in which it will be impossible to buy non KYC bitcoin, and probably no way to erase your paper trail as I predict one day XMR will be on the chopping block... so I suggest everyone reading this do it now while you can.
