Battling for your personal privacy
This is going to be an ongoing debate or battle for future generations. I think governments are going to use boogie-men like terrorists and other nefarious characters to reduce peoples privacy. All in the name of public safety.
I think people are going to fight back against this and Bitcoin is part of that fight back. People want their privacy, they don’t necessarily want a government agency of a big company like facebook knowing everything they do.
Now I’m not a conspiracy theorist, I don’t really think there’s an evil corporation using our data for their own gains. But all you’ve got to do is look at the world around you and realise that all it takes is a hack on Facebook to have your personal details stolen.
Imagine if Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin lost all their data. Your privacy is wrecked. I think this is a safety risk as we’re creating these honey pots of data which can be very damaging. Software’s made by humans, Softwares going to get hacked.
