Governments are deeply incapable of stopping even just basic crimes and fraud. If they can’t stop overtly criminal acts often committed with no technology to assist in obfuscation, why would anyone believe they can (a) detect network traffic somehow related to Bitcoin and (b) trace it back to an individual and (c) prove that individual has broken some law? Let alone to do this to perfectly law-abiding citizens conducting perfectly legal purchase of Bitcoin.
Your point is very bizarre to me. Are you suggesting a government so incapable of managing fiscal activities that it descends into hyperinflation crisis is somehow magically super competent at extremely bespoke and difficult internet traffic surveillance of legal cryptocurrency transactions they have no reason to need to invest in expensive capabilities to monitor in the first place?
they can block VPN traffic
> Governments are deeply incapable of stopping even just basic crimes and fraud
that's just silly
in my countries there are 270 homicides every year on a population of 60 million people
do you think it's luck?
> detect network traffic somehow related to Bitcoin
because it's stupid easy
> prove that individual has broken some law?
do you really believe that in places like Iran or North Korea they really need to prove individuals broke some law?
> Are you suggesting a government so incapable of managing fiscal activities that it descends into hyperinflation crisis is somehow magically super competent
if they are so incompetent, why are they in charge then?
if they are so incompetent, how did they manage to censor any media channel, including the internet?
remember that "poor" countries aren't really poor, regimes keep the population in poverty but they still handle a ton of money.
I still don't understand why the government of Venezuela is so bad that it's literally leaving their people without the necessary means to buy milk, where "government has been able to partially block internet access to citizens by using a system that allows them to restrict selected content that may threaten their power over the country" but allows people to use untraced bitcoins...
