News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I would argue that it depends on the Cryptocurrency you are looking at. While yes, Bitcoin has almost no privacy when it comes to watching a transaction take place from Address A to Address B, if you look into the white paper of Monero [0] or ZCash [1], you will find that they are almost impossible to trace from a technical perspective. They have essentially solved this problem and you can achieve full privacy and anonymity.

If Cryptocurrency takes off and society accepts it enough to take it as a ordinary medium of exchange, I would imagine it would almost be impossible to prevent people from routing a subset of their transactions through privacy coins.

This guy has a pretty diverse skill-set! He's great at graphic design, debating, and politics.
Sounds incredible, we'll probably be seeing much more of this type of thing in the near future.
