Scenario 1:
BTC is made like monero, inheriently and instantly untraceable, no shady 3rd party mixers or risk of wallet monitoring companies connecting the dots, everything you do cannot be linked through blockchain analysis even if you send money from your wallet to your wallet (yes, this is how it really works).
Scenario 2:
BTC is made like nubits, historically stable and always $1 per coin, no more worry about the market moving 50 points in the matter of an hour and not having enough to make your buy, or selling your stock only to find out the market has robbed you of 20% of your profits in a day.
You get to choose one, or if you want keep bitcoin as it is and have neither stability or anonymity, which one would you choose?
Wide acceptance is important to anonymity.
If everybody using a currency is using it for drug trades, it would be impossible to convert to cash.
The 10% of the bitcoin iceberg above the waterline, and the geeks who blame every price fluctuation on "China" because they can't see the darknet cause, are our alibi. Without that veneer ofr respectability, there would only be tghe illegal darknet market trade. Buyers and vendors couldn't meet again in the daylight of an exchange, where we finally get the cash off you when you buy your bitcoin back!
Nobody gets arrested via bitcoin, with two possible exceptions:-
A. sheepmarketplace's owner. Even a tumbler couldn't save him. But that's because the money going IN was known to be his.
Tumblers are designed to disguise the origin, so if it can be followed from the market like sheeproadreloaded2 did with Tomaz, its a different story than for a normal user
B. Defcon. Again, it was Reddit's own Sheepmarketreloaded2 who followed the stolen escrow money, hired by myself and vendor Hank. The bitcoin sat there for a long time, then about 13btc was taken out at a time and given to marketplace admins to redistribute to his victims.
He didn't even tumble it, and as SRR2 already knew SR2's escrow wallet address, it was a piece of piss. Then defcon moved some bitcoin to the charity wallet he published on his facebook page, and the handcuffs locked.
There may be a 3rd person caught by SheepRoadreloaded2 - Mark Karpeles. Because SRR2 found 1.2 million bitcoins stashed in 120 wallets on Feb 6th 2014, and got all his findings to the MTGOX victims legal team. But that's a story too long to go into here.
I take it you mine the two shitecoins you mentioned, and are trying to talk them up. Bitcoin is stable enough over a week, and my escrows are released within 30 hours normally so it suits me fine.
