FinCEN Director: We’re Not Out to Villainize BitcoinThe Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has been to date one of the most active – and more controversial – US federal agencies to address the bitcoin ecosystem, doing so through a number of published rulings aiming to provide clarity to the industry. http://www.coindesk.com/fincen-director-villainize-bitcoin/

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

"Calvery indicated that FinCEN is currently researching ring signatures, a cryptographic signature in which an action is attributed only to a group, and tumblers, a type of mixing service meant to hide where transactions originate."
My feeling is that ultimately the community and the ISP who provides the onramp to the internet is the best actor to know the customer. What is legal in one community may be illegal in another so federal or international regulators have to accommodate and respect local laws and customs. If a community chooses to protect the privacy of a local bitcoin user the fed should have to honor that request. This will grant power to local governments and I'm not sure if the Fed's are going to like that.

“We don’t start at a product and villainize a product, we villainize the bad actors and find out what they’re doing with their money.” (FinCEN director Jennifer Calvery)
Think about that.
"Bad actors".
"We villainize the bad actors".
Will Jennifer label you a bad actor, villainize you and find out what you are doing with your money? Time will tell.

Can we first identify "bad actors" in the Federal Reserve?

Heh. Probably not - they are superb actors. For example, they act as though they know how to run the world's largest economy better than the millions of people who actually make it run. They act as though they know what the value of every person's money should be. They act as though they know what interest rate each person in the world should pay or receive. They act as though they know that inflation is a good thing, that a particular rate of inflation is optimal for all, and that they can make it happen. They act as though they know that deflation (lower prices) is a terrible thing for all. On and on. That is acting at its finest. Couldn't resist, but of course I get your point. Jennifer will choose her "bad actors" according to some agenda or other. In the first round, it will be targets that get no public sympathy - play the kiddie porn card. In later rounds it will be - who knows? Societies have gone down this path before. It never ends well. |

If anything, law can be decentralized for the same reasons there are juries of peers.
