In much of the western world, governments have developed the ability to
|
|
prevent individuals or organizations from accessing financial services,
|
|
with little or no court oversight or ability of those being marginalized
|
|
to challenge the rulings. Under the guise of “terrorism” and \"protecting
|
|
reputations\", individuals and organizations, from porn stars, to
|
|
advocates for those illegally detained in Guantanamo Bay have found
|
|
themselves unable to hold bank accounts, unable to accept payments
|
|
online, or even had their funds seized without warning by both private
|
|
and government actions. In the developing world, the situation can be
|
|
just as, if not more, extreme.
|
|
|
|
In the mean time, Bitcoin has been slowly shedding its anarchistic and
|
|
anti-establishment origins and finding places where it can provide
|
|
legitimate value within the current financial world. In this talk, we'll
|
|
cover both how Bitcoin is in a unique position to provide activists and
|
|
marginalized groups access to financial systems to ensure they can
|
|
continue their work, while still meeting requirements placed on the
|
|
financial system for reasonable law enforcement purposes. We'll touch on
|
|
a few cryptographic primitives which, when combined with Bitcoin, can
|
|
create incredibly practical and powerful tools to comply with regulation
|
|
without giving up privacy, and of course cover a few common
|
|
misconceptions about Bitcoin.
