Are you sure that they are tracking bitcoin transactions to de-anonymize users? Have you any proof, link, something? I know that NSA is the evil of this world but why should they track BTC only and all cryptos? There are quite a few millionaires invested and holding other cryptocurrencies. Why only BTC? If NSA is after big wallets they will know about all of them, I think.
I think his thread is going into a wild speculation.
The purpose of the NSA is to certainly protect the „land of the free“, and they are not behind some millionaires having cryptos. They are behind players, which don’t respect the rules, or might pose a thread or somehow a danger for the interests of the US and their integrity. Why would they want to get the money of some crypto holders?
Whereas I don‘t like the behavior of people in this organization (like in any other large orgs as well), people tend to believe they have power and use it over (more or less) innocent individuals. Like getting shot by a policeman, cause you have African roots... this is what makes us fear these organizations, especially if we have something to hide (taxes are a recurring pattern).
If they had really hacked the curves with backdoors, then the millionaires are the lowest level of interest. They could do much better with this power.
