sorry for the off-topic but why would someone want to confirm his identity ?
isn't the bitcoin idea to be anonymous?
I think it's part of KYC process
On the another side of anonymous, there lies the criminals
No offense, but no one will want to get involved in criminal activities, such as money laundering
I think it's wise to be extremely cautious, especially when it comes to cash deal
I'm not assuming anyone is criminal, just remind people to keep an eye out when doing any trade.
