&gt; It turns out that there&#x27;s a pretty easy fix for this. People have to start caring how the money they&#x27;re accepting has flowed through the economy.<p>I don&#x27;t understand how this is &quot;easy&quot;. Money doesn&#x27;t become evil because of how it was earned, that&#x27;s just an overly emotional way of looking at a system of transactions.<p>&gt; Money is power. Anonymous money prevents you from choosing which power you&#x27;d like to submit to. Decentralized money prevents governments from restricting power. Let&#x27;s keep the decentralization and remove the anonymity so you can reject power you find undesirable.<p>That&#x27;s ridiculous FUD. Consider people donating to WikiLeaks or similar, where the sender might not want a record of where they sent their money. If the source of the money is anonymous, there&#x27;s no &quot;power&quot; involved. Nobody can force you to do something under the pretext of &quot;but that&#x27;s what I paid you for&quot;.
