I disagree with Craig Wright. Banning anonymity isn't going to solve the worlds problems and kill off lying and cheating. The idea that it's even possible is naive at best and deceptive and malicious at worst.

Cite CSW or strawman argument.
As far as I know CSW is not trying to ban anonymity. He is creating an accountable open blockchain with privacy.
It is not in his power to ban anything.

If CSW wants the entire world to adopt Bitcoin, understanding and hoping that it destroys anonymity in his words "all its forms" it's pretty cut and dry.
replied 2764d
Ok. I think he may be able to do the former, but he can not do the latter.
replied 2764d
Can he do it? I don't know. But i do know that he *wants* to do it. He said it himself.
replied 2764d
Yes he wants to destroy anonymity because he believes it is a source of evil.
replied 2764d
And he's partially right. It is, in the hands of the few. Particularly when the few can deprive the many of their own anonymity.
replied 2764d
I think he also believes that anyone who would gain full anonymity would become evil.
For a good reason. Think about it.
replied 2764d
Full anonymity does not, and will not ever exist. Full stop

So what are you worried about to begin with???

"Bitcoin destroys anonymity in all its forms"
replied 2764d
I doubt that, but yes, thanks that is his quote.

"It allows privacy, takes all that such people sought to do, their foolhardy desire to create a utopia, and changes it allowing Main Street, those that seek to work and create."
replied 2764d
Ok, yes, he is all for privacy and against anonymity.
replied 2764d
The solution to fighting the anonymity of others is to gain anonymity of your own. It's paramount to the gun control argument.
replied 2764d
Strip everyone of anonymity and the only ones left with it are those who seek to do harm, and the majority are powerless to defend themselves.

Put everyone on the same system of transparency and bad actors will simply hop to another. The every man will be using Bitcoin and the conman and politician will simply use Monero.
