was a good read, until i read darkcoin...

Darkcoin was quoted for a reason: that it adds fungibility to an otherwise un fungible digital currency.

In any money system fungibility is what supports privacy.

bitcoin is aiming to anonymity too, that's why i don't like that he talked about darkcoin

Bitcoin is not "aiming to anonymity".

Apple?  Right to privacy?

“Edward never uses an iPhone; he’s got a simple phone,”Kucherena said. “The iPhone has special software that can activate itself without the owner having to press a button and gather information about him; that’s why on security grounds he refused to have this phone.”

Tails and a shitty old phone is what Edward uses, but he is an extreme example, most people don't need that level of privacy.

Recently I heard Lenovo laptops have a recorder or some location chip embedded in them. Maybe APple might do the same to invade the privacy , and might already have access to our bitcoin on our systems.

Personally I couldn't give a shit if anyone's watching me on the internet. I'd mainly feel sorry for them wasting their lives doing such a thing.

I can see why it's an important thing for many and privacy shouldn't have to require a conscious effort. So many people are so far gone it may be too late. I'm old enough to have bypassed the desire to put up any piffling details of my life up there for all to see.

If you have a credit card, bank account, email address... just about anything tied to a digital record then you don't have the privacy you think you do.  Go find that spot of rain forest where the pygmies still live and then you may be off the grid enough to enjoy that precious "privacy".

I assume you don't use Android or any of Googles other services, either, right?

It's not just about you - nobody gives a shit - but you are giving out information about other people you interact with who value their privacy.
