Do we have evidence of bias here or is this actually as elon claims, rules being applied consistently? Hypocrisy or not, I don't think it's unreasonable to ban realtime doxxers if the rule is applied consistently. His mistake was

While I agree with your point, I think the article more accurately describes that they need constraints, rather than discipline. They need to be told no, to be given chances to understand that their behavior has considerations outside of ju

Yeah, no doubt it's attractive for money laundering, but the thing is that it's impossible to stop at this point. There are entire digital currencies built on top of zero-knowledge transactions at this point and they aren't h

if central powers stop being lazy then nothing was illicit. No violence can be inflicted from trading digital currencies. It's lazy policing to try and control resources rather than stop the actual violence. If someone owns a resource,

It's interesting that you claim my point of view is myopic while somehow being unaware of the billions (at minimum) of dollars a year exchanged for goods that do not attach an identity to a crypto address.

What does tax fraud have anything to do with this? I can't help but wonder if you're just trying to imply that anyone who wants to stay private must be a criminal. There is quite literally zero reason to suspect tax evasion from s

You can't enforce a crime when you don't know the criminal. It's trivial to keep your identity separated from various digital assets.
