- steveeq1 7y agobitcoin is not "a company", it's a distributed network of computers that's basically impossible to take down.
- bsder 7y agoMeh. The NSA will simply fabricate evidence if they really want to get you. As an individual, I can't stop the NSA if they are genuinely out to get me. All I can do is increase the cost enough that random bureaucrats have to get up from their computer, sign a form, and expend some money to do so.
- commandlinefan 7y agoMaybe, but not in a usable way - if anybody had been working off of an assumption that Bitcoin were anonymous, they know better now. So if Monero is, as you say, compromised/compromisable, the government can only pull that trigger once before the cat’s out of the bag.
