Didn&#x27;t you read the dystopian prophecy above? It&#x27;s caused by the inability of anyone to mind other people&#x27;s business. Most people find that to be an undesirable world.<p>Today, your business is minded by the government and large corporations. As a result, the rules that they want enforced are the ones that actually get enforced. Anonymous money is why you have no ability to prevent people from buying your government: no one with the power to mind people&#x27;s business actually wants to enforce such a rule. If you give <i>everyone</i> the power to mind people&#x27;s business, then rules that the people want enforced can actually be enforced.<p>There is no way to regain the ability to sanction bad behavior unless you can mind other people&#x27;s business. Financial privacy feels nice, but it gives the wealthy the ability to rule over us with little recourse. Are the benefits worth the cost?
