> Bitcoin does make the transaction publicly traceable

It can be untraceable with CashFusion


I read that as coldfusion and I got some ptsd

No, that doesn't work with Bitcoin, it only works with a fork of Bitcoin that has less than 0.5% of the value of Bitcoin.

Value doesn't have anything to do with utility

In this case it does. You can't funnel huge amounts through a coin with usually small volume and market cap and expect any sense of anonymity or privacy. The delta makes it obvious. It would probably be visible via movements on markets too.

For smaller amounts this is not a problem for the same coin and network.

Your volume might support $10k but not $10m.


Take a look at the statistics: https://fusionstats.redteam.cash/

What of it?

You are not responding to the debunking of your "Value doesn't have anything to do with utility" claim.

The only relevant thing I can see here is that yes, the volume is too low to provide any sense of untracability for the scenario discussed. It might for paying your VPN subscription.


> What of it? Sort by value and see for yourself

> You are not responding to the debunking Opinions don't debunk. Proof does.


Who cares?


The guy you're responding to obviously cares. Being dismissive of his desire to do the right thing is kind of rude.


Right thing == ethical != legal

Internet Archive is a library. Libraries host copyrighted content. Libraries are good.


Libraries license the content they host. Internet Archive didn't. And nearly got sued out of existence because of it.


Thank you


SegWit added unnecessary complexity (~5,000 LOC) to a problem that could be solved just increasing the max block size (1 LOC)


> Bitcoin was designed to be a replacement for real life cash, but it ultimately failed in this role

The BTC implementation clearly has failed in this role, but not Bitcoin protocol (look at BCH, for instance)


> Bitcoin was intended to be funded entirely by transaction fees

Transaction fees used to be free, but miners started to require at least 1 sat/b, to prevent "spamming" the mempool, so... no.

You forgot to mention that that was a lie.
