I have to rethink the whole idea of privacy now. For a day or two I got blinded by all the new information coming in about private/secure/anonymous currency like certain coins. But you just can't use it. So what's the point?
I'm honestly not sure if you can keep your privacy then, considering the only anonymous way of buying something is cash.
9 out of 10 ISIS terrorists prefere Greenbacks for their weapon delivery payments.
So yes indeed, privacy coins are somewhat "out". Probably not even surveilance costs of the crypto sphere are justified anymore from a budget perspective. It's Tax Money.
