blockchain is an audit trail of financial (and other) transactions
public verification of identity is entirely different
blockchain is surveillance tech
Not only.
But it could be used for surveillance.
not only, but almost always
And it will.
it will
I agree.
it most assuredly will
there will be billions invested to make that happen
That's why it needs to be in the hands of the public.
As much as possible.
yeah
or just use a never-ending supply of new identities for transactions
but
as I said, many solutions will present themselves
They will.
But few will survive.
And those that do will survive because people used them.
As I am proposing you do with the likely emergent solutions I know of.
If you know of other solutions to financial censorship, please let me know.
ACH
They certainly will.
Ok. What is it?
go make a deal with your local bank
automated clearing house
Who has a local bank?
it is the mechanism whereby one account sends money to another
I mean one that only exists locally?
there are thousands and thousands
find one
Where?
anywhere
who cares?
Not where I have lived.
bank, credit union
literally every small town has them
internet banks
the list is endless
Maybe in the US, a legacy of your history of decentralised currencies.
