It’s pretty cool that I can send a text message to someone without an authority intervening, not to mention that nobody can stop the transaction from happening.

It’s pretty cool that I can send a text message to someone without an authority intervening, not to mention that nobody can stop the transaction from happening. And then they can print that out onto a sheet a paper or share it with all their friends.
Encryption is really great if you’re a terrorist or some kind of pervert.
- thjkgfgrrioppo 5y agoHow do you send a text message without any authority intervening these days? Email used to do that, I guess, but now if GMail doesn't like you there may be problems.
- HeckFeck 5y agoYou can create a new email address if your previous one is blacklisted. The idea is that no one needs permission in both cases, and the message can be sent only to the intended recipient without a middleman reading its contents. BTC is the same with money. The same FUD was ignited against encryption back in the day, and "save the children" hysteria still is ablaze if you live in the UK.
