Title: Would you show your friend - or local supermarket - all you finances?
Post by: freightjoe on January 11, 2018, 01:15:27 PM
A very good outline from Kaspersky on the 6 challenges of blockchain and bitcoin.

Full link is below, but for the Bitcoiners in this forum have you considered the following:


Blockchain is open, and everyone sees everything. Thus, blockchain has no real anonymity. It offers pseudonymity instead. Putting aside the significant issues that crooked users have with that, here’s why pseudonymity is bad for honest users. A simple example: I am transferring a few bitcoins to my mother. Here’s what she can learn:

How much money I have at any given time.
How much I spent and, more important, what I spent it on. She could also find out what I bought, what I gambled on, and what politician I supported “anonymously.”
Alternatively, if I paid back my friend for some lemonade, I would thus let him know everything about my finances. That’s hardly a trifling matter: Would you reveal the financial history of your credit card to everyone you knew? Keep in mind that this would include not only past but also future transactions.

   What you have to hide? And who deals with hiding all the time?
What do I care if you know how much money I have if I legaly earned
all that money?
   Anonymity you talk about holds us in stone age. Governments and
their agencies are hodling for that rule while they are monitoring each
of us. You live in a lie if you think that with traditional currencies you
are safe. Governments are safe, cause we do not know what they are
doing.
   I do not like what you wrote here, and I will share everything with
you about my financies, why not? When we will stop hiding and be ONE!?
