Why is nobody talking about this?
It's been going on for longer than cryptocurrency. It's one of the central concepts of why cryptocurrency was invented!
Privacy is, by definition, a lack of transparency.
Why have we allowed corrupt governments to play these word games and not call them out on it?
In a vacuum of government force, privacy is that natural human condition.
After decades of obscene violations of the limits placed against them, governments continue the sophistry of "transparency."
The spread the propaganda of "terrorism," "drug dealers," "human trafficking."
Yet, all they can offer us is the rare token example of this accidentally being solved by means that had nothing to do with the advertised purpose of these financial "regulations."
They use these vagaries as the disconnected accusation from which were need to prove our innocence. Which can only be done by throwing privacy under the bus, they tell us.
We've had a half-dozen solid decades of this guilty-of-fill-in-the-blank-until-proven-innocent. Oh, you're not on trial because there's no actual accusation of something. It's just an accusation. But, you soon will be on trial for failing to prove your innocence...
The administrative overhead of this absurdity costs more than int brings in, by a very wide margin. Not only is it failing to serve the advertised purpose, but a full layer beyond that, it doesn't come close to paying fr itself.
FATCA and FBAR alone, just the most recent examples of the absurd lies and violations of the privacy limitations placed against governments by it's people, cost so much that most global institutions are refusing to do business with Americans. FBAR and FACTA are structured with the full knowledge that these "regulations" will cost waayyy more than they bring in. So it forces foreign institutions to bear the cost in an effort to hide the absurdity in audits. But FBAR and FATCA are nly the most modern examples of this shit...
For decades, hundreds of thousands of people have fallen victim to these guilty-until-proven-innocent regulatory schemes.
Proof of source of funds.
What happened to the prosecutor having the burden of proof? Where is the evidence that any crime has even occurred, much less that the person who dares do be opaque, asserting their right to privacy, did it?
I don't like forced child prostitution any more than anyone else. But, how can we use that as an excuse to blanket-accuse the entire population of the planet, and force them to prove their innocence?
Where's the evidence?
By all means, catch the bad guys. By finding evidence that they have committed a crime. What an novel concept!
But now, anyone who doesn't fill out a certain form is a criminal, guilty of not filling out the form. This is the overwhelming source of prosecutions. I can't find even one single example of money-laundered being caught by any of the multi-trillon dollar bureaucratic "regulatory" schemes. And these prosecutions are vicious because the parties charged with enforcement are desperate to make themselves look useful.
In spite of being outrageously predatory prosecution of people who didn't know about the secret laws passed to criminalize a failure to fill out a form that no one would think exists due to the previous presumption of innocence notion that we believed western societies held as precious... They still can't come even remotely close to paying their own bills.
Is crypo just going to let them keep getting away with this, just like everyone else?
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear! It's become the unquestionable norm. Fear has become wisdom. Will no one even point this out, much less fight back?
DASH appear to be on the path to eliminating PrivateSend and MasterNodes because it fears so much as a conversation on the topic. Ditch PrivateSend, don't argue for privacy. Ditch MasterNodes because protecting them, or even discussing that they should be protected, is a forbidden topic.

I've busted my ass way too hard for way too long. I want to make like SV Delos, but with a Solarwave 55.
