Digital Currencies Allow You to
Protect Your Privacy!
It is a known fact that
traditional banks store massive databases tracking all of your account
activity in the name of "know your customer" and "fighting the war on
drugs" and more recently "the war on terrorism." In reality, we all know
that banks conveniently use those databases to sell information about
their customers spending habits to other companies, and governments use
that data to find excuses to confiscate your money and property. So, not
only does your government have access to all of your spending habits,
but so does any individual or organization who is willing to pay for it.
Most Digital Currencies are housed in "capital-friendly" jurisdictions
with strict privacy protection laws. For someone to get your account
information they have to obtain a court order in the country where your
Digital Currency is headquartered. This means that true crimes can be
prosecuted, but your privacy will remain intact if you are just an
average law-abiding customer. Think of it as guaranteeing yourself the
right to "due process". Furthermore, it is impossible to use digital
currencies for money-laundering.
You have to spend your national money (such as US dollars) through an
exchange agent in
order to purchase Digital Currency in the first place.
Since exchange agents all have accounts at banks with
anti-money-laundering practices in place, this means that all money used
to purchase digital currencies is theoretically
"clean". Clean money in,
clean money out! |
