題目: Re: [unSYSTEM] Coinbase Class 2 Accounts
It is also only because you trust your family that you should be
comfortable identifying yourself to them! Being identifiable makes you
weak, easy to divide. Mixing in with a crowd is a form of empowerment,
and it's one that citizens need.

I think these are interesting questions and a good discussion.

I also refer you to a US supreme court decision from 1995:
https://www.eff.org/issues/anonymity McIntyre v. Ohio Elections
Commission
"Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse.
Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express
critical minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny
of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill
of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect
unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an
intolerant society."
