I go back and forth on this.

On one hand I really want default privacy and anonymity on bitcoin, but on the other hand if bitcoin would be private from inception, then current adoption would be (imo) much lower since the government would implement legislation like "if you touch it in any way - straight to jail for 21 months" (CSAM style...).

I think this is a question a lot of people ask themselves. I think you should then ask: do you want an investment, or do you want freedom money?

If I answer Freedom money, but everyone using it gets persecuted, then it loses any usefulness - i.e. it stops working as money for me.

So I think your question doesn't capture the dilemma well...

If you idea of freedom is what your government allows you may need to re-read your constitution
