About anonymity of crypto currency

in #money7 years ago

  

There is an opinion that the main advantage of crypto currency is anonymity.  In fact - this is the myth that the journalists came up with because they could not fully understand the technology of the blockade. Transfers in bitcoins and air are much more monitored than any other format of electronic transactions. In the detachment, everything is recorded in a single database, and, frankly speaking, money can not come from the air.  

 With a typical "laundering", just multi-hops with a throwing of sums under different pretexts in banks of different jurisdictions are used, see the series Ozark, there it is very beautifully romanticized.  But bitcoin is not anonymous as if he wanted to expose it. There is a source of its origin - mining - and from now on the whole story of what purses he walks, you have in sight.   

 And now remember, you know a lot of exchanges / purses, where you were not asked to prove your identity? Very little. Especially when it comes to solid amounts. And every day they are getting smaller. But no one in the industry is going through, people use the crypt because it A) Guarantees possession, B) Global, B) Very simple and cheap to manage.  Transfers between people in air purses cost less than 1 cents all over the world. No bank / institution can limit the amount, there are no minimum or maximum. And your money is always yours, much more protected than a pincode from a plastic card.     

 Just think about the next figure: there are already over 10 million crypt users in the US, and all of them have undergone KYC / AML procedures, they own huge states in bitcoins and air. For the sake of anonymity? Of course not. Every time someone starts to talk about crypto-currencies in the key of anonymity, hit like a cockroach like a cockroach.
