Which is why the main value is and will always be illegal transactions. That's the problem it solves, it's not 100% a bad thing cause it prevents the gov't from possibly abusing power in controlling of financial transactions, but the main impact of crypto is to allow organized crime to operate.
- TAForObvReasons 4y agoThere are plenty of legal purchases that people would want to keep to themselves. If there were an anonymous non-cash way to purchase legal medications, many people would take that option rather than reveal health details to data brokers.
- iamben 4y agoMaybe my answer is entirely UK based, but I'm pretty sure if I asked in my circle of non tech friends, I don't think any of them would have a concern about buying anything legal on a credit or debit card. You might not want your friends to know, but I don't think they care in the slightest about the bank or CC company knowing. And even if they did, that can be obfuscated a little more by buying it with a non-high street bank (like Revolut) they never have to go into/use for their mortgage or whatever.
