Hi Steemians,
I am in the middle of a debate with some colleagues about the necessity for privacy in cryptocurrencies.
We see the case of currencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin and even Ethereum were transactions can be traced somewhat easily versus Monero for instance where their transactions are obfuscated from the start, the debate came up defending the right for people to fully control their wallets (both physical and virtual) against the support or efforts of a government in fighting drug dealing and terrorism.
I personally believe in the right of the people to hold and control their assets and funds in any way they see fit, but I want to know what is your take on this debate,
Are you pro government over watch if they have motives or pro people's right for privacy?
