RE: Monero, Privacy Coins and The Dog that Didn’t Bark
Interesting article. I has been having similar concerns since I learned about crypto.
However, about this statement:
Vitalik Buterin clearly does not view censorship resistance as a crucial feature of crypto, he is quite amenable to centralization, because he doesn’t see globalist government power as a threat to humanity.
Could you please back it up by any facts, e.g. his statements or anything pointing to such conclusion?
take aways. 1. Tamper resistance is not censorship resistance. So, of the two things that Vitalik wants to balance, neither has to do with censorship resistance. 2. I am all for humanitarian values, but they tend to be different nowadays. For Dick Cheney and John Bolton, a major humanitarian value would be bombing the sh*t out of most countries on the planet. Censorship resistant crypto guards people's freedoms without imposing one's view of humanitarian values on them 3. Vitalik is right in one sense. Censorship resistance in crypt is imposing some value (freedom) on users. But that is where his and my values differ (despite him being a generally smarter individual than I am).
