RE: Why Monero (XMR) is not only a currency for the Dark Web: why privacy matters - and why anonymous currencies are on the rise
Both transparency and anonymity have their place in society. When talking about use of public funds, transparency is important. When discussing buyer rights anonymity is important. I think you have a great article here -- you can follow it up with what times transparency is needed. Of course, these two are antithetical to one another. If you can make it dark, then it means that the transparent record isn't perfect. But, that I think reveals more about how society thinks -- these two opposites need to exist.
Very good points, thanks for the comment. If you have any other readings, please post here in the comment section. I would very much want to make the privacy discussion a bigger topic, as with current regulations and outlooks in US/Asia/EU we are definitely going into the wrong direction. Anonymous currencies in this context are very much needed.
