Complete financial privacy solutions are very difficult to achieve. With Bitcoin (and as someone who does not program -- a beginner!), I mix mine after I get them for "better" privacy. That throws off the casual blockchain browsing scum looking to steal BTC or information. I am NOT under any illusions that BTC will be anonymous vs. a .gov attack or investigation. My main reason for experimenting with BTC is just that: experimenting. To see how it works, and what amount might be right for me.

Alas, I am OUT of the political influence game, even at the very low levels I was before. I am weary, let the young and/or active take that up.
And, of course, I much admire TPTB_needs_war and his efforts to find freedom through financial privacy.
