Today I found an interesting on Zerohedge:

Quote:  "[...] the growing number of wealthy crypto investors is starting to  infuriate regulators, who are now calling for more transparency in the  cryptocurrency market. Specifically, they’re arguing that it’s time for  cryptocurrency wallets to include information that might help identify  users. Otherwise - they say - the continued association with  criminality – cemented by the Dread Pirate Roberts’s life sentence –  could start to impact the crypto-asset market which now has an aggregate  valuation approaching McDonald’s Corp. "

This morning I also read, that the EU wants to uncover the wallet adresses of users due to taxation and to prevent money laundering.

This would be a nightmare, because they would have access to all your transactions...

What are your thoughts?
