Previously, I only need to put my email for receive the info of my payment progress. Now, after inserting my email, It ask me to register. So i register.
After registration, It asks me for real ID: This has gone too far.
I made a post a few weeks ago warning about this to which I received hardly any responses, that's why I didn't register on Bitpay.

Shame. Onfido are used heavily in traditional banking too. They were bought by Entrust last year.
These companies are only going to get gobbled-up higher up the food chain as every large company clamours to verify identities.

Why does Bitpay even bother? Who would use that garbage rather than just using a credit card?
It's gotta be some kind of regulatory scam. Maybe to "prove" that Bitcoin can be "compliant" too.

Bitpay is same as centralised payment channels now. I thought of using it for some gift cards but just stopped when the onfido happened.
I'm in India and I can't take this shit anymore. We have quite a few other decentralised options and we should embrace them with love.

I would just say that 'I despise KYC more than anything else's.
I won't ever try Bitpay.

That's not Real ID.
