Governments and not just dictatorships are now able to monitor our online data. We are slowly seeing a move toward mass surveillance and it's fast creeping into every area of our life: our messages, our social media posts, our shopping habits, and our finances.
Bitcoin and other blockchain technologies offer security against financial surveillance. This is good because governments should not be surveilling every citizen because a few are criminals.
