This is not relevant, since the comment I replied to said any use case. I just picked one that’s a need for certain people in certain places. It’s not a non-goal for them, and what governments want or push for may not be as good as you believe.
- arcticbull 4y agoThey meant a use case other than crime. I mean look, it's not really even good for that. You have a public ledger of all your illegal transactions that you then share directly with law enforcement for them to feed into their automatic crime detection engines. Why bother with pro forma warrants? Just email your transactions directly to the FBI and have them make sure you didn't do anything wrong, I always say. Dr Nicholas Weaver from UC Berkeley referred to such transactions as prosecution futures. I agree. After all, you're not even defending against current deanonymization tooling, you're defending against all future such tooling. Pepperidge Farm remembers Tornado Cash. [edit] If I were in an authoritarian state capable of oppressing me, the last thing I'd do is use Bitcoin lol.
