   @Twig Of course it was. In order to implement a Cashless Society and maintain the Status Quo of Crime, Graft, and Corruption, the Powers That Be REQUIRE an alternate payment system outside of the official one where every penny is tracked.

     @sun @Twig I am well aware of the darker *harder to trace) coins. This is why I said Bitcoin (crypto), because Bitcoin is just the test system to work out the bugs.

     @Mister_Sunshine @Twig government ability to track monero is plausible but 100% speculation.

     @sun @Twig Yep. I'm so old I can remember when the consensus was that you could not track Bitcoin, too.
     FWIW: I used to be involved in the Bitcoin world and was one of the people who stretched the limits of blockchain tracing to the point that scams like Butterfly Labs and GAW/Garza/Paycoin got taken down.

     @Mister_Sunshine @Twig bitcoin was built to be public and monero was built to be private. there was really no excuse for anyone thinking bitcoin was anonymous.

     @sun @Twig This is how it seems looking backwards, but I assure you that Bitcoin was presented and accepted as being pretty much anonymous for the first few years. It took people getting scammed to break that myth. And this is just looking at it from the Civilian side. I am certain the capabilities to trace even the dark coins exists on the Government side- and if there are some that really can't be traced at all AND the PTB decided it was a problem they would simply block those at the Internet Provider level in country and keep the one(s) they prefer.
