Not if you're Wikileaks. Bitcoin was (probably) built to solve the kind of problems they had getting money transferred to them. there's a cost associated with a low-trust network.

- ufo 12y agoThey can use "rubber hose" crypto to interfere with your bitcoin usage. The point is that the lack of anonymity is a bad thing when you are facing against a powerful adversary.
