This seems very whataboutist. Is your serious claim that Bitcoin, et al, aren't increasing bribery? They're helping out other sorts of financial crime quite handily, so this is a claim that would require a lot of evidence. And as to your second paragraph, [citation needed]. As long as we're imagining central authorities mandating the sort of transparency that would make it harder for corruption, we could just use the existing financial system, which is already reasonably well tied to real-world identity. Cryptocurrency in no way helps here.
