I'm aware of ethical issues around faking ID for KYC but here's my argument
What if you live in a country that every centralized platforms,not only the exchanges, do not accept customers from?
I'm surprised that no one seeing one of the most obvious purposes of bitcoin being dismissed specially for the people who need it the most. People are getting scammed daily from fake fake id providers here, we must atleast talk and keep an open mind about this problem.
In case of exchanges, well there are some decentralized alternatives which doesn't need KYC but when it comes to De-fi/Ce-fi protocols and services that preach "debank yourself" and "financial freedom" this is madness imo. I can't trust a shady protocol with only hundreds of liquidity providers with my money. For using more legit services faking your identity seems like the only option.
I just wanna let every one know most people who fake their ID do it because they have no other choice and they know how risky it is. They buy phone numbers and all of that only to be able to find a way to survive against their countries failing currency.
