If Mr Wright were the inventor of Bitcoin, I will be very disappointed. I thought Satoshi would be totally different person.
HAHAHAH. Did you think that an e-currency which is mainly used by the black market was made by a saint? Come on!
and you are a "smart" person if think that a programmer would make something without "purpose"; in this case PROFIT !
It is tue that there may have been alternative uses of itcoins. However, since who.is records and address tracing it is easy to track different people. Unless you have a wallet and hide an ip address whenever that wallet is used and not posted anywhere on the internet, then it is anonymous.
i agree with you but the BTC fanatics must understand that what is called "anonymous" cannot be mainstream. the normal people(not developers, not tech savvies) needs protection. BTC cannot offer a such thing and that's why it will remain a very small niche. On top, it's VERY hard to be understand it.
also, "anonymous" is similar with black market. it's like a magnet. the average "Joe" will always be scammed here and that's why, again, BTC will be avoided. It brings nothing new, it has no protection(chargeback) and so on
