This is the thing, if you are not a USA citizen.... Why would you want a foreign agency to browse around in your financial matters? Mike Hearn tend to forget that Bitcoin is a global currency, and his backdoors he is
coding into Bitcoin for these USA agencies, are not welcomed by other nations. They chose not to live in a police state for a reason, why would they use a currency if that currency infringe on their foreign interest?
They have no right to spy on people outside of the USA anyway. Once they enter the borders of the USA it's a whole other story. If you lived in the USA and you get spied on by another country, would you mind?
You know that unless you hide your tracks extremely carefully, everybody has insight in your personal bitcoin wealth? Everything is public and can be tracked..
Yes, that is exactly my point... you do not want the whole world to know your financial wealth. {This include hackers & thiefs etc. etc.}
I do not go into too much detail to hide my real identity, because it's a waste of time. The big brothers of this world have enough tools to follow you on the internet, no matter what you do. {VPN's, Tor etc...}
Just keep it legal and they should not need to track you individually. You still have the right to protect your money matters from thiefs... and that is where I draw the line, with whoever is watching.
This is no different from you trying to do that with your cash or with online transactions you do with other payment options. {PayPal, Credit cards ...}
If you doing something illegal, you should be worried... Bitcointalk does not protect your privacy and it's not a platform to commit crimes.... We discuss Bitcoin matters here.
