Assunto: Re: [unSYSTEM] Coinbase Class 2 Accounts
What I'm committed to is asking questions when I don't understand, and despite being unhealthily overactive in the bitcoin community, I still have yet to see anything positive from anonymity. Scams, thefts, evasion, trolling, and no one's voice was silenced, no one's opinion was ignored the whole time. I'm just wondering what the answer to this problem is and I've already asked if anyone knew-- how can you guarantee someone is just *one* person without verifying their real identity?

We know intuitively that there are a stable of advantages in maintaining a recognizable face in social and business relationships. Anonymity/pseudonymity are capacities. Often alternative, but often default capacities.

To argue for the disclosure an expressive/political capacity on a cost basis is stodgy conservatism.

If you extend on that principle, you'll see that we only trust family because we can tell them apart. What if your mother and father were anonymous? How would that change your world? What if all people were completely faceless and could change names and appearance at any moment? I'm having a hard time believing that's in the best interest of a society that seeks to protect itself in numbers. Maybe DNA will be the answer to that, not bitcoin.

That's kind of breathtaking, Matthew.

Might I offer that political economy isn't the only grid by which we should evaluate the concept?

I'd love to mock them (because it's easy), but if you want to play the game created by old dudes who still think IP address = single person, you'll have to follow all the rules.

The real question is, is being anonymous good for society? I haven't seen a single benefit of anonymity (lacking any verification documents) that isn't highly outweighed by it's ability to enable abuse. Human beings may be nameless, but they're not non-quantifiable. Is there a way to remove the names and keep the verifiable quantity that doesn't make the libertarians twitch and squirm?

Thought I'd just mark the occasion. Coinbase is now requiring identity documents to verify class 2 account holders.

Glorious compliance!
