You're complaining about criminals having anonymity in a discussion about privacy. The technology enabling bitcoin is cryptography itself. There's no putting it back in the bottle, and we'd still want it anyway.
We simply need data to be as well protected as the criminals can protect their financial transactions.

- unishark 6y agoI'm referring to cryptography as the technology you can't put back in the bottle. By the way there's dozens of other cryptocurrencies now. EDIT: just did a check, apparently there's thousands...
- jaywalk 6y agoAh yes, just make it illegal! Because obviously nothing illegal ever happens on the Internet.
