Corruption and privacy... Ehhh. (Sigh.) Suppose a hypothetical ledger is so private and anonymous that no transaction can be deciphered to whom it belongs to. That doesn't mean the parties involved wouldn't be obliged to keep records and be transparents regardless, by law and regulations. The technology itself then is the layer that either allows (standardised) options for all - meaning either all is publicly there or none is or something in between. I choose privacy. The matter is that which the edge cases, in our case, cypherpunks, fight for because "if privacy is outlawed, then only outlaws will have privacy". They fight for our digital rights. That's not going to be optimal if all is public. Again, corruption is a human flaw, not so much a technological bug. (Just some loosely-tied thoughts.)

Law requires transparency, but banks like HSBC and JP Morgan launder with impunity, protected by corrupt systems.

Hello world,

I finished building the financial censorship monitor at https://debankd.org/. The source code is visible at https://github.com/Kokkomaki/financial-censorship/ The site and the data may be the first to systematically collect financial censorship events. Do share it with others that may be interested in seeing it as visualised data. You can also contribute by submitting cases and correcting them. There's still some things left to do, but for now I am taking a pause and see where this is going.

Be well,
Ville

Interesting project, Debankd.org. Daily active users on Bitcoin on-chain analytics services have increased from 10k to 50k over the past year, indicating growing interest in on-chain data.

Parabéns pela ferramenta! Nota interessante: a velocidade de transação atual (2 sat/vB) é a mais baixa desde janeiro de 2022. Isso pode estar relacionado à recente estabilidade do BTC?
