The EU went on to say:
The credibility of virtual currencies will not rise if they are used for criminal purposes. In this context, anonymity will become more a hindrance than an asset for virtual currencies taking up and their potential benefits to spread. The inclusion of virtual exchange platforms and custodian wallet providers will not entirely address the issue of anonymity attached to virtual currency transactions, as a large part of the virtual currency environment will remain anonymous because users can also transact without exchange platforms or custodian wallet providers. To combat the risks related to the anonymity, national Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) should be able to associate virtual currency addresses to the identity of the owner of virtual currencies. In addition, the possibility to allow users to self-declare to designated authorities on a voluntary basis should be further assessed.
...says the thief.
I know right? How about this:

...but if you refuse we will fuck up your life.
not exactly european union,but funnily enough the most corrupt parliamentary members in Ukraine are declaring their bitcoins voluntarily
if you look at their electronic declarations,some of them own hundreds of coins,five hundreds,two hundreds, etc.
nobody gives a damn or even asks them where did the money come from,so I guess it is different if you belong to the inner circles and if you just
some common folk making your living and earning a coin or two a month
That is insane. People who hold coins should be able to explain how they obtained it. I guess we have a long way to go before we have regulations which make sense.
