Currency transaction reports and suspicious transaction reports, do they not sound like something the Stasi would demand in communist East Germany?
No. Not in the slightest. They’re a response to crimes of capitalism committed by capitalists governed by capitalists. If making sure everyone gets equity means people moving about 20% of the median American yearly salary have to be transparent, I’m okay with that.
Cash and maybe gnu taler
Never heard of gnu taler. Looks very promising.
Maybe, we'll have to wait and see
In Australia some companies --banks-- are starting to refuse taking/using cash. Killing privacy, slowly. Most normies can't see how that and will be used to track you.
In Canada, the Feds changed the law 2 years ago. They can now lock you out of your bank accounts without a court order. Which was needed before.
Monero is the answer to this
Yeah no, I'm not using a sketchy crypto with a unstable value for my personal finances.
Its a good thought but crypto is not the answer
You not knowing don't mean jack squat.
This might be FUD, but... Vastaamo hacker traced via ‘untraceable’ Monero transactions, police says. (Edit) - A video debunking the police report - https://yewtu.be/watch?v=7CD_Nl3iwhE
That was debunked. That person accidently uploaded a .tar of their home folder which had info on previous hacks the cops knew he committed. The monero was not the link their.
nice, thank you.
No problem. The cops in this case are doing a good disinformation campaign.
Since this did turn out to be debunked FUD, might be a good idea to edit it in to this comment.
can do, if you could provide the link to the debunking source - would be great!
