What Satoshi has actually proven is that the cliche is true: you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide, if by "nothing" you mean "nothing that's a major crime."

Bitcoin is mostly a speculative tool and what few transactions happen on the blockchain are dominated by drugs and other contraband.

Society doesn't hold together at all unless people are smacked back into line when they act antisocially. No amount of technology can change that fundamental truth; ostracism and silence are core to human nature.

What does that have to do with anything I said? The point was that something previous claimed not possible was actually technically feasible. Completely unrelated to its morals, use cases, or value proposition. Do you now understand my point?

It's not technically feasible because feasibility requires it to satisfy the common use cases. Being irreversible makes many use cases infeasible.

I see your point - Bitcoin does exactly what it claims to do - but it is not a feasible replacement for money.
