Re: Canada warns its citizens to only buy marijuana with cash
It's an interesting article indeed, but I would imagine that if the US government thought it was important enough, they could figure out who's bought marijuana with crypto. It might be way more difficult than if the weed was paid for via a credit/debit card, but it's possible.
That's the thing, I'm sure they don't think it's important enough. It wouldn't be worth the funds to pursue. With the POS payment processing industry being so concentrated and centralized, it's infinitely easier though.
They could do it with some coins, but I doubt that they would be able to break privacy of coins like Monero.
Don't be so sure. It's still an experimental currency that's not well understood by many people. If the NSA wanted to find a hole in XMR, they'd have a lot of resources to throw at it.
