Freedom of speech? How can that be violated if we are talking about Bitcoin transactions here?

This idea has been discussed in the past.

There's a few people here who've opined on it - https://cointelegraph.com/news/is-bitcoin-protected-as-speech-under-the-1st-amendment-experts-answer

The consensus appears to be largely no but it hasn't been put to the test. Ideally it never will be.

Of course you can uncover the opposite thoughts just as easily - https://law.fiu.edu/2019/02/26/bitcoin-will-find-no-first-amendment-refuge/

@Harlot. Also, bitcoin can also be considered a software message passing system similar to whatsapp, facebook messenger and also the bank's SWIFT is a message passing system.

The government must be careful on how they regulate bitcoin because it might create dangerous precedents.

Have they planned for a cash rebellion as well? It's far more anonymous than bitcoin and usually when shady people are doing deals or the US is trying to over throw governments they'll use cash themselves to pay people to do their dirty work. Years ago I even tried to buy some drugs from El Chapo in bitcoin but he said that they only accept cash  Grin Grin Grin. Imagine if everyone just started using cash for purchases. There'd be a lot more taxes being evaded because there's often no record of those transactions. There's a reason a lot of self-employed people and businesses prefer cash because it's easier to cook the books.

That plan came to life through Covid19. Cash is dirty and can transfer germs between people so it's a great moment for some anti-cash propaganda.

The real reason to remove cash is of course anonymity. Nobody is buying drugs or illegal weapons with bank transfers. It's all done with cash and without it governments will have total control over your expenses.

The only problem is most countries have the use of cash protected by their constitution but Putin showed the world how easy it is to rewrite it.
