I do not feel offended. But very nice from you to consider that it could be. Concepts like privacy are nothing personal to me.

And yes might better solutions can come up. But one still has to get around physically. And every physical object can be traced. My point is only, that getting full privacy is a huge amount of work, which no one achieves by the way. And Bitcoin is rather weakening privacy compared to current banking and cash then strengthening it. Physical cash will probably always be the most private payment asset one can use.

Btc can be physical cash if you want it to be.

Perfect anonymity isn't necessarily a good thing. A reasonable level of privacy makes sense, but crimes do occur. Investigative work should have to deal with the costs imposed by privacy, without the slippery slope of perfect transparency.

Now you go away from you point without admitting, that Bitcoin is no privacy improvement. You could at least be fair and admit this instead of just switching topic, when you are lost. I am greatful for fair discussions.

This discussion just lost its sense.

Think of it as an observation, rather than an argument.

Privacy will always depend on your own choices. Bitcoin, IMO, gives us options. Simply being a push payment system dramatically widens the potential for optionality.

I'm not winning points... There's no winner. I'm in awe of something awesome, and expressing that.
