Hal Finney on digital cash traceability.
2020 01 02
Hal wrote about digital cash and traceability in 1994 on the Cypherpunk Mailing List:
…"the political point is that if you can make an untraceable payment, you could be coerced into doing so, for example by being robbed at gunpoint. Contrariwise, if the cash system used by you and your bank is such that all money is inherently traceable, it will be a lot harder to commit robbery, extortion, kidnapping, and all those other horrors which people fear will come with digital cash."
