encryption has brought data back into our own control to an extent. cryptocurrency is doing the same with money. I think people are so steeped in the current system that they don't realize that people expected a certain degree of financial privacy up until recently. Besides paying your taxes ( which is also a recent invention in the US ) it was never any business of the government what anyone did with their money. Reading about the history of the US people seem to have forgotten why the country was founded and what people thought before about 80 years ago. Life, liberty, property. In no way does that include thugs with guns forcing you to give up your hard earned money. There was NO income tax on individuals up until WW1 ever in the US. Through a slow process that takes years to change the Federal government has crept into our lives taking more money and control. It is extremely worrysome to me that other young people my age want more government control and not less. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_State...
