Title: 2013-08-27 Bitcoin May Not Be So Anonymous Post by: zakoliverz on August 28, 2013, 10:23:42 AM http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-08-27/bitcoin-may-not-be-so-anonymous-after-all
Bitcoin is many things to many people. To some anarchists, criminals, and their antagonists in law enforcement, it’s primarily seen as a way to conduct financial transactions in private. To others, it’s also a volatile commodity for brave-hearted speculators and an increasingly efficient method to send money back and forth. The Bitcoin Foundation, which went on Monday to meet with regulators in Washington, would like to focus on the last point. The regulators care about how they can smoke out criminals. |
