What other measure would you guys suggest to meet existing legal requirements? Trying to convince lawmakers that bitcoin should be anonymously traded is an absolute non-starter. If that is the foundation's opinion then bitcoin may be declared illegal and the tracking of coins will move to law enforcement. So, what are our other options?
NOTHING. Mikes Proposed change is unacceptable.
The problem is doing nothing is unacceptable to any government.
Then any (such) government is unacceptable to us.
Times change, governments will have to either adapt, die or be ignored by the population until they accept the inevitable.
