Nah, sometimes the government gets in the way even in terms of moving bitcoin privately non-custodially. In many recent rulings they've defined moving non-fiat assets that they don't issue as monetary, and thus subject to their various monetary laws. They've got guns. That's in the West, let alone authoritarian places.

So it's important to work around them or get them less hostile to you where possible, or move to friendly jurisdictions.

You would do well to educate yourself more on this subject prior to commenting. Stay humble, post less.

In this case, should we not agree with Snowden and introduce anonymity features into bitcoin? I think that's what he said "he's been saying for 10 years and ignored for 10 years".

Unless we have anonymity, we can only develop so much. It's also consistent with antonopoulos "sewage rat" evolution theory where bitcoin needs to be threatened in order to develop the necessary antibodies to resist?

You have it on L2. Confidential transactions on Liquid.
