Any bitcoin business that went along with say adding code that obfuscated transactions to a point that there is unlinkability and untraceability would have problems with regulators assuming they were AML/KYC compliant etc or whatever the regulation is.

There lies the issue with your logic.

In the world we are heading for these type of things don't exist. This is what I mean when I propose you are too mindfucked on fiat to see straight.

At the chance you have cared to read and didn't quite grok this part this is what Mircea means here:

First off, I do understand why you would think there is. Honestly. You're used to a certain system, you grew up in a certain system, you expect the trappings of that system anywhere you go.

Ever gone camping, fishing, hiking, and turned your eyes looking for the faucet or power outlet or wifi modem lights or whatever ? Sure, rationally you know and understand that you're in the bellybutton of fucking nowhere, and there never was and never existed such a thing as you're looking for within a hundred miles. Nevertheless, at some level, your brain expects that faucet. What do you mean nobody has ever laid a hundred miles of pipe/cable/bacon trails all the way to right over here ?! Impossibru!

Just because I used that example does not mean it doesn't exist to have legal implications elsewhere.

let's say it is outlawed to deal in blacklisted addresses determined by your local government...yes you can move but to a certain degree what if that happens in that other country?

How exactly do you propose they enforce this blacklist.

Simple I don't propose they do.

But it is possible it could happen.

I'm telling you they can't.

Just because you say something doesn't make it true. I believe it is possible. I'm sure some people thought that something called the "income tax" was impossible...it is unjust in my mind but it exists.

Governments these days are getting away with a lot, so I believe there are things we wouldnt dream would be put into place and enforced upon us.

What you are saying is absolute nonsense.

The only possible ways to enforce blacklists into Bitcoin is to hard code them in the protocol. Otherwise any peer on the network can transact with any other peer and his bitcoin will not be subjected to any discrimination whatsoever.

Any other scenario involves trust in a third party which means you are really in fact not using Bitcoin at all.

Who said they were going to enforce blacklists into Bitcoin...and not ON TOP OF BITCOIN?

Ever heard of building upon bitcoin?
