Bitcoin has pretty strong privacy for the average person or business.
True. And the way for police to investigate / monitor by looking at ip traffic is not as simple as Jeff tried to make it look to the journalists. How are they going to detect a payment to - say - silkroad, let alone after the fact? Am I missing something?
Also: when time comes we can move to btcfn (bitcoin over freenet)
You know what? There is a simpler way: create a new wallet, fill it with money, encrypt it, sell and send the whole wallet to someone via email.
Done.
Do it via multiple jurisdictions and the trace is easily lost.
There's a patch (I think it will be pulled in) that allows import/export of keys from/to a wallet, making what you suggested even nicer (also makes bitbills easier to redeem)
I fail to see how that's simpler (from a user perspective) than btcfn would be. Start freenet, start bitcoin, use as normal.
