What a shame, if the government where forced to use something with that level of transparency for all of it's transactions... And no, this is technically anonymized data, which is anonymous until you prove to the world that a certain wallet or chain of transactions is yours. If you want privacy, then don't be retarded.
And if you need privacy, and can't keep your fingers away from telling the world how much money you have, then use Monero or any other privacy coin. What is it with kids these days, uploading photos of themselves holding a stack of $1 bills then cry when bad things happens.
Bruce Schneier, who for years warned about electronic voting machines, did a magical 180 and joined the crowd that said 2020 was the most secure election in history. Don't trust a damn thing that he says.
The major players like Coinbase have been communicating with the IRS for a long time.
So, is crypto a honey pot to track down criminals, or a honey pot to "camel's nose under the tent" in the digitize dollar, or is it a ponzi scheme?
For the wary and wise, crypto is just one of many strategies, mostly as an investment and a hedge against inflation, variable as it may be, because all your savings shouldn't be in gold/silver, which is also manipulated, or in the stock market. It's also free speech money when they can cancel your GiveSendGo donations at any time.
And really, what smart criminal would pay for things on something with an open ledger like Bitcoin? All the narco-cartels use Monero.
In order to take down Silk Road, the FBI had to catch him in the act. Literally, they followed his ass and busted him a library when he was logged in and had to make sure he didn't lock his laptop as they rushed in and apprehended him. The feds have more sophisticated ways now of tracking bitcoin transactions these days.
Use the honeypot he says.

ive been saying this for years. if a ledger keeps track of every transaction then all of your data is available to anyone

If he does even a half-assed mea culpa like Tim Poole, then I'll start reading his blog again.

"Piratechain seems to be better with the zk-snarks"
There is to much lingo in that sentence, I don't understand it. Please elaborate.
Do you think this factored in to the takedown of Ross Ulbricht and Silk Road back in 2013? Something about that story always felt off to me.
