For Bitcoin as timestamp machine, it's already possible with OpenTimestamps[1]. Some news also report Italian bank already use it[2].

That's a first step , but with blocksize of 1MB and such fees not much can be created on BTC in massive scale .

I can't disagree more. This is a crazy position. Imaging wanting to live in 1984!?

Is that what you got from reading the book? Seems that i got different things from it . In 1984 Orwell talks about the power of propaganda (something like what we see in bitcointalk that mixers are a tool to enhance privacy ) and the power to change history at will . He talks about the power a party gained by prohibiting books and writings and how the corruption of language takes away from society the right thinking. Ηe talks about the destruction of the family institution . If you haven't read it, I would recommend it , so that you can escape from the fairy tale of surveillance promoted by the leftist's camp.
If you think of it he describes Stalin's state at that time perfectly .

Right, because there has never once been a single case of data being leaked, hacked, or used inappropriately? The fact is if this data is gathered, it will be used against you, regardless of whether you have committed any crimes.

Why am i not in jail right now ? Why aren't you in too ? Haven't they got much of our data for some years/decades ?

Videos from businesses and individuals, not from government surveillance cameras.

So , you are pro private surveillance and only against surveillance from gov's ? What's the difference , as authorities have access to that material ? I really don't understand your arguments .

And something i din't notice earlier .

The final version of the internal Chainalysis study cited by Hanna Curtis in the webinar “Cryptocurrency Typologies: What You Should Know About Who’s Who on the Blockchains” which concluded that roughly 90% of the funds sent through mixers were done so for legal personal privacy reasons.

So even Chainalysis admit that the vast majority of mixer user is entirely legitimate and from regular users who just want to protect their privacy.

If chainanalysis is a scam service how do we know this is true ? Maybe they got the results totally wrong .
