Sending cash via snail mail to buy stuff online exists. While Anna's archive does not support it, it certainly exists.

Ok, but now you're not comparing bitcoin to cash but rather to cash+mail, which has many more tracking opportunities.

This is also forbidden by several post offices. In my country it's against the law to send money by mail.

That's why most shadow libraries are funded with cash.

How would it be feasible for Anna's Archive to accept cash?
