Like most things it's a matter of opinion.
My opinion is:
Anyone thinking the government being able to track every transaction could possibly be a net good thing is delusional.
It seems freedom and autonomy matters less and less these days.
- tdkl 10y agoThey don't need to, they just need a special peeping hole to the ones who already do.
- ZoF 10y agoYes. Those nonexistent people who already spy on every cash transaction. That's literally impossible. I'm with the cypherpunks regarding nsa/etc passive collection though (which I assume you're referencing) Passive collection of digital data has nothing to do with cash transactions though. Which is the entire premise of this comment chain. So either you've misunderstood what we're talking about or you're schizophrenic and think all cash transactions can be tracked. Care to elaborate? Please explain; How is a dollar I found on the ground yesterday and placed in a random mailbox today tracked?
