OP said "not uncensorable" meaning it is possible to censor using Bitcoin. This in itself is a problem. Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it can't. Tor was a DoD project, and so I automatically assume that it is possible for them to control enough exit nodes for them to control traffic. Even if it doesn't happen in practice, it is actually possible for anybody to do. Same with Bitcoin. Got a big enough budget, you can start censoring transactions. Bitcoin is not anonymous, Bitcoin is not private, Bitcoin is not censorship resistant.
- wslh 6y agoI never said it was unsensorable. Try other arguments. The uncensorable is a spectrum so it is censorship resistant under certain premises. No technology is uncensorable with enough resources but Bitcoin is more uncensorable that the global banking system.
- Thorentis 6y agoIf you set the bar low enough, anything is more uncensorable.
