RE: Does Freedom Require Radical Transparency or Radical Privacy?

in #eos7 years ago

As usual, you've written a very thought-provoking essay. I feel that you are always about 5 steps ahead of everyone, and it's necessary to think through each point you've laid out. I read about someone who was held up at gunpoint for their Ethereum funds, so is there a possibility that too much transparency is not ideal?

Sort:  

Being held at gunpoint will not work if attacker can only transfer money to their public account.

You're assuming that the attacker cares that everyone knows that they have your money. Governments certainly don't care. In fact, publicizing how easily they crushed you and seized your money will probably make it easy to extort money from other victims in the future.

That would only work if our public account is implemented in our hand or head for example... does it remind you something?

And that no man might buy or sell, except he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Yes very very large probability I am a lot of transparency is not ideal. @stellabelle
I have experienced such a situation. @dan
