I like the idea of you guys trying this out and adding new options to the world of technology. Policies and paper trails or not, if you guys have the ability to stop or move funds which you don't have the private keys to, then it also means that the US government, NATO, or United Nations can also move funds for which they don't have private keys to. Perhaps Bill Gates or Marilyn Monroe could move EOS funds in a strange way. Most of the times intentions are good and you guys are developing great centralized tools for them to use through you indirectly. Perhaps it's better this way compared to a mindless robot who only knows private keys. But who will want to use this? Maybe you want a system by design that criminals don't want to use. That's kind of neat. Let them use Bitcoin and forgo all the new features. I still want to use EOS in hopes of fast transactions and dApps.
As soon as we get those working, I think someone should fork EOS to EOSRobot with 0 ability to transfer funds without a private key, similar to how BTC and ETH are today. Sure it's technically possible to move funds without private keys even in BTC, but people generally trust that no one would, even if the US or UN wanted them to.
I'm a big fan of EOS, but if it were ever forked to a robot version, I'd favor that over this nerfed version. If there were two EOSs like that, I would HODL both by market cap ratio and enjoy both just like I do ETC, BCH, XLM, and LTC today. I love um all and keep up the great work.
