It was unfortunate that Ross Ulbricht's secrets were traced by tracking he's bitcoin activity.. I've realised bitcoin is one of the few technologies that would reveal the true identity of a person.. Getting the mac address of a person's gadget is a big score when one is being tracked. The government uses all means at it's disposal to be ahead of the public in everything especially when it comes to security. I recently learnt that they go to an extent of using facebook to reveal more about the users.. Facebook gives out users information to agencies in need of specific information about a user. And this is information that we share at ease.. like location, one's daily routines.. A lot that can easily get the government what they want to know when they want to. We should just be more vigilant when using anything that has a connection with tech because the government won't stop. And the worst thing is it's legal to monitor someone.
