Now once I have reported those transactions and by law also reported (e.g. in the USA IRS Form 1099) the identities of who I have received the coins from and sold them to, then I've reveal my anonymity, the anonymity of the entities I transacted with, and reduced the anonymity set on the block chain for all those who mixed their ring signatures with mine.
Is there anything that you consider out of bounds for taxman? When they take your kids and put them in perpetual slavery, still OK? Oh, wait.. bad example. Take your money when you want to leave country? Oh, wait...
Seems that they have already crossed the line and become enemies of liberty, for many. What more can they do so that you still feel is OK?
Of course you know I feel very emphatically it is all not okay! Which is why I strive for anonymity that (hopefully) won't fail. Because the public is not going to agree to protect me, for they depend on the government. This is called peaking socialism and more and more of the population will become dependent after the economic collapse in 2016.
So the reality I am facing (for those who believe Armstrong's pronouncements), if you have any capital the public is coming after it to steal it (legally of course via the tax man, G20 cooperation, NSA cooperation, 5 eyes cooperation, etc).
unfortunately, the anonymity you want would make it impossible for one to even see oneself's transactions...
Incorrect.
