The central property of cash is fungibility—meaning a dollar spent by a plumber is honored equally to one spent by a sex worker: they are indiscriminable. Adversarial chain analysis of Bitcoin's public ledger reduces its fungibility over time. Only privacy guarantees fungibility. — PolitiTweet.org

4) Privacy coins are great, but they're too small and too easy to smother via regulatory actions like de-listing from exchanges. Only Bitcoin has immunity-via-dominance to delisting. It adopting privacy-by-design instantly normalizes financial privacy. Ultima Ratio Cryptum. — PolitiTweet.org

3) Bitcoin's disastrous privacy is the "missing stair" of cryptocurrency. Every expert understands it's a problem, but—as experts—they themselves know how to compensate for the risk in their own personal interactions with Bitcoin, and therefore feel no urgency to actually fix it. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

...despite the theoretical risk of harming the value of that ownership, I continue to criticize Bitcoin's (and other cryptocurrencies I hold) failings because the public cost of doing otherwise would be orders of magnitude greater than that individual private gain. Moral compass. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

1) This is such a profoundly misleading TL;DR of a privacy-focused talk that it's hard to call it anything but intentionally deceptive. 2) To the extent I own crypto (unless and until it has been lost in boating accidents), I own more bitcoin than anything else—but — PolitiTweet.org

The worst part of cryptocurrency transforming into dragon-level wealth is witnessing good people emotionally devolve into dragons themselves: so intellectually paralyzed by the fear that everyone they see threatens their hoard that they lose sight of the world beyond their cave. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

I had a truly excellent conversation with the deeply impressive @MartaBelcher on cryptocurrencies, the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies, privacy coins, Bitcoin's Taproot upgrade, how cash is tracked, and other things, like, you know, mass surveillance. Watch here: — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Hale was charged under the Espionage Act for the "crime" of exposing the classified fact that nearly 90% of those the government kills via drone are innocents and bystanders. 90%. Hale should be pardoned. Reality Winner should be pardoned. End the war on whistleblowers. — PolitiTweet.org

You're seeking a 175-year long sentence for an internationally award-winning publisher of news—despite protests from the United Nations, Amnesty International, the ACLU, the world's leading newspapers: https://t.co/6QMuajTS8o — PolitiTweet.org

@markcianci Well, a previous group of extremists gathered in 1776 to contemplate that issue and arrived at a solution that seemed okay for the previous two hundred some years: https://t.co/Buv9bTaWRU — PolitiTweet.org

CNN says the White House is discussing a new plan to expand domestic, warrantless surveillance of Americans—by paying private companies to infiltrate and report on the private social media groups of those it categorizes as "suspected extremists." https://t.co/RRkvoSgYyA — PolitiTweet.org
