It’s not a Secret. It’s just none of your business.
This is my favorite words about anonymity. I'm not a criminal, and of course I'm not a terrorist, I'm not afraid of public opinion, but that doesn't mean I'll agree to share my every move with everyone, especially those who really want to know :)
If you don't know who is Snowden, you must check it out!
Do not underestimate yourself
Some people thinks that no one cares about them, so they shouldn't worry about privacy (ohhhh...).
The society is a group of people, you are a part of it and even if the information about you and other people separately is not of particular importance collectively they represent a huge value. We are living in 21th century where information is power. Everyone who has information or able to control it - has power.
WHO?
The Corporations
Тhe first ones are IT corporations trying to monetize users they are collecting your data (just everything they can) to create as much as possible detailed profile, so that ads shown by them will be more valuable. Ok, I'm do not mind when google shows me ads based on my gender or profession, but what the f*ck are they keeping my list of requests since 2009? Microsoft collecting user's data, Windows 10 may track your keyboard and microphone, they may see what you're typing in private messages and even hear what you're speaking next to the laptop.
Remember PokemGo? Google's project and the best example of corporation monetizing it's power of controling information.
And that's not all just do a little research you'll be shocked (don't google).
Banks
In all developed countries people are using credit cards. In U.S. you have $100 cash, people make take you for a drug dealer :) They may always track you with credit card, they know how much you earn, what and where you're buying...
Why are they collecting all that data? Does it necessary to provide you their services?
I don't think so.
Why do you think they are scared of cryptocurrency?
Because whole banking system is a huge tracking machine!
The government

And of course... (I'm sure that's not a surprise) The Big Brother. I'm sure most of you heard about "PRISM-project". In short it was huge project of NSA to collect any every single bit of information about every single man in the world. All the big corporations and banks (and not only) has been sharing data with them. In the end they screwed up and the secret project was uncovered, but if you think they gave up on that or US is the only country tracking it's citizens, then sorry, but you are naive...
At the same time they are protecting their secrets, hiding from us what they don't want to show and classifies it as a "state secret". F*ck! What about our secrets?
It's for our safety and convenience? What a sh*t?

Never believe it! You are responsible for your safety and convenience!
Тrusting this responsibility to others you give them power over oneself. Ones we've shifted our financial responsibility to banks and what we got? Crisis after crisis, while the bankers stay rich.
We must understand that corporations, banks and governments are ruled by individuals, and if that individuals know what we do, what we want, what we love, they may use it in any way this is the real threat to your safety!
Anonymity is not enough for freedom, but, yes, it's an absolutely necessary condition.
I'm not trying to turn you into paranoids, but everyone must respect his and others privacy. The first step is to get informed. Just do little research.
I'll try to post a simple guide of basic rules for protecting yourself from tracking, it's not hard, but if everyone follow this steps, we'll be able to take a step towards a more private world :)
Upvoted! Nice article. bramgg.crypto
I wrote something slightly like this but not so detailed. I like the way you dealt with it. Thanks for making it in points boss
Best thing I've read all day. It's all about an individuals freedom of choice what they share and what they dont. In this society our freedom of choice is taken from us if we wish to live even a 'normal' life. I want to claim my birthright to choose.
Really nice said! Thanks for replying, glad to see that some care!

Hello there @andhovesyan
I understand the reason for anonymity, but these days "they" know more about you than you do!
Big brother says hi.
