Cryptocurrency, KYC and Terrorism

[the rise]

Many ICOs appeared using the real identities of the project team and dominance emerged from Africa, Russia and China, I even confirmed this several times via skype (I didn't carelessly follow many ICOs). if their project ends up detrimental, they are not even touched by law because there is no online crypto business regulator that limits the number of investors from outside their country. If this is related to terrorists, the government should have pocketed their data as evidence, but in reality this problem is still not too important to be taken seriously. For KYC, this is a very abstract problem because their business does not get legality, even after circulating in the market, dev is free to spread coins to traders without KYC. Important data investors and hunters who are considered important eventually become a boomerang for themselves.

Some have speculated that terrorists have discovered a way to use the platform crypto currency to gather identities from different people from all over the world. use their identities for terrorist activities. From threads that i have seen, there are people thinking that some ICOs are used to fund terrorist acts by luring investors into investing into their companies, getting KYC in exchange of money, gather a large sum of it and then run away with big bags of bucks.
IMO, these scenarios have big possibilities since there is the anonymity factor feature of crypto currency, we really do not have the knowledge as to whom and where the money will go for when it was transacted in cyberspace.

what are your thoughts on this?

Did you heard about terrorism use bitcoin for their transaction payment? So far I never heard with terrorism make transaction with bitcoin and altcoin as payment currency, they never know with bitcoin and do not understand using bitcoin because almost bitcoin account need KYC to withdraw, terrorism do not withdraw without KYC their document and impossible they will use KYC for bitcoin exchange account.

Maybe this was a good idea to gather informations from different people  but quite complicated. Also, this requires a big amount of money which are capable of buying other useful things like weapons. In addition, if they want to gather informations from a lot of people why only those small ICO projects and not big comapnies that gather more informations like facebook and other Social Media companies?

Why have afraid with KYC on bounty campaign if getting higher reward coin? I will joined all bounty campaign although have KYC if get much reward coin, if ended bounty campaign but reward less than under 0.2 eth I will not sell my KYC with lower value of bounty reward, just KYC with bounty campaign distribution higher reward and have trusted owner to participated at their bounty campaign.

Maybe you are not aware to the identity stealing nowadays, we may never know where did they used our valid ID , our valid id can be use by illegal activities, they can sell our identity to others for there own benefits, though yes I sometimes give kyc but I always hide the security numbers of it, so that there will be a some private part that they cannot copy.

SSN ID details was stolen many times and US government tried to give the security to their people from data pulling and now in this cryptocurrency field we are seeing good amount users to sharing their personal information in the name of KYC and it has been steal by the ICO companies.
As much we can try to give the protection for the data instead of free giveaway. Then as a investor expect the security from the project else don't invest on them.

When created Bitcoin wanted to help people. But in the end, you can applaud people how they can distort something good into something bad.

KYC is one of the innovative ways implemented by government to  improve safety on crypto and worldwide financial mobility.
If it is been used by criminal elements,  it is the duty of regulatory agencies to look into it. But I believe that KYC information are not compromised as assumed. 
If failed ICOs parted with investors funds, it wouldn't be because they want people information. Our concern should be with Airdrops.

Most likely you could find those on dark web and people sells our identities for the sake of crimes such as terrorism and stuff, you might find news that people got arrested from doing X stuff even though the "real" person claims not doing that. Internet is really a scary place.

They use those credentials for their own benefit. It's not just on ICO though, even on real life they also do that.

We should be careful on sending our private in the internet because it can be stolen. There are ICOs that can considered as scam because they are focusing on collecting identity of the participants. There are now many identity that been stolen and sold in the darknet. It is been issue in the past and that is why many investors are now afraid to participate in projects that requiring KYC verification.

[Forbiddenone]

There is no deny to it that there are many ico or service which use kyc as means to take identify proof and malicious use it for other gains. I think for bounty campaign kyc should not be there as we are taking payments for our contribution.

KYC policies can really lead to illegal activities like identity theft, that is why a lot of crypto users are not in favor in signing themselves in projects that has KYC because they are scared that their identities might be use to trick other people. We should be really be careful to entrusting our identities to strangers because it can lead us to harm.

[Pinkris128]

This is the reasons why a lot of people hate submitting KYC in projects because they are afraid that their personal information might be used to sell it in the different people or terrosist for their illegal activities, that is why i always reject to submit KYC in projects and gambling sites just to save my identity.

[Wintersoldier]

Unless there's a big article that will state some points you've mentioned about it, then we could verify its legitimacy to be true with references and such. But I don't really think they will come up to the point that sending KYC will lead to make terrorism developed, because as far as I can speculate, what they could get in our identities and personal information are market details, analysis on how to run ads to different platforms which could give them allot of money when sold to different projects. Remember, the most valuable assets are our personal information.

Kyc shipping is not worth the risk we suffer. I personally do not agree with that. Moreover, there is no legal protection from the government. I am afraid that if used for criminal acts and on our behalf, so we will deal with the law. will certainly make the atmosphere complicated by our mistakes in sending kyc

[Shasha80]

I strongly agree that airdrops or ICO pojects that require KYC procedures are very prone to be used for illegal activities,
such as use their identities for terrorist activities. Therefore, I strongly avoid anything in the crypto world that requires KYC.
To be honest, we have to admit that anonymous crypto is used by many terrorists to find funding and buy weapons.
Conclusion we should not carelessly give our personal identity to arbitrary sites or projects, if you do not want an identity
we are abused.

[Mihaylovic]

It is correct that cryptocurrencies can provide anonymity for terrorist groups so they can make some hidden transfers. But terrorist groups have been using usd, gold even credit cards as well. governments can not stop them by forbidding cryptocurrencies.

I'm now afraid because I participated before in projects that requiring KYC. I'm afraid that my identity can be stolen and can be use in illegal act. I saw articles before that there are projects and exchanges that sold the identity of their users in the dark net. That is why I always ignoring the projects and exchanges that requiring my identity. I want to stay anonymous that is why I'm against KYC.

I am also against in KYC because yeah some of the projects that needs KYC sells their clients identity in the deepweb. And as what I read in some articles the number of those who killed by anonymous people was increased and I think this is one of the reasons. Imagine someone got killed without any clue.

No need to worry because some of project was trusted and it was good if you do know if the manager was trusted too. There are a lot of campaign that needed that and also to have or to avoid number of same account on the campaign.

Indeed. There are really some projects that we can trust when we already submitted our KYC forms to them that 100% sure they won't sell out our identities or personal informations. But we still need to be careful in sending our own personal information because it is not a joke from getting your information that they could use it in bad activities to trick other people.

if what you say is really real, this is the most feared thing for all who give KYC. in fact it is true that KYC cannot guarantee whether the identity requested by what we may not know and not the institutions recognized by the state. if the institution is recognized by the state it will certainly be used properly and can be accounted for. it's better to avoid KYC.
