Re: A compilation of reasons and arguments why one should be anonymous.

Although I think if one has been guilt of financial issues or is a know law breaker they person should be deprived of the right to anonymity in cryptocurrency although this isn’t possible.

This is an outlier and does not constitute the majority of privacy users. This exact point is the argument most have against privacy and financial freedom, with the governments acting like the moral police to scrutinize everyone while in reality each system is corrupt and having some sort of anonymity to the fiat system is beneficial.

We cannot pick and choose who gets to be anonymous and as such cannot exempt anyone, except they are already known criminals.

This reminds the story of a rich family that once sue Google for revealing their family privacy information to the public when the person to blame was them because they never take their seriously.
The major concept of privacy is liberation from all angles.

This is a funny story and I am sure the rich family wins the case no matter how powerful they because the Google Search engine is a fully-automated engine that uses web crawlers and it does is explore the available data online and provides it as the result to keyword use to search.
The rich are the ones to be blamed for making their private information linked by not using privacy services.

Yes, the rich family lost the case. Apart from that, for a variety of reasons, I think that people should maintain their anonymity no matter what because the freedom to express themselves without worrying about retaliation or humiliation is crucial, and also have secure transactions.

Until all people understand that privacy coins or services aren't just for people who are into criminal or unlawful activities there be only a few people who will make use of privacy but we just have to play our own role by making people understand that privacy activities are not about negative action is the right of everybody.

I do not see everyone getting on board the idea of privacy, particularly the older generation who have lived most of their lives with intrusive governments. We can only create more awareness to the reasoning behind privacy and how the data hoarders are the real foes in this case.

Crypto users especially should care much about staying private and transacting anonymously.

You have a point and there's an old saying that said, you can only take a horse to the stream but you can not force it to drink water. We can't force that sees privacy as something that has to do with illicit but they will understand the benefit of privacy after they are victims of hackers.

Things liked or enjoyed by one person may be distasteful to another. That's the logical truth about life and we can't force those that have personal hate for anonymity.
I dont see any negative side of anonymity if it is not about illicit.

Of course, everything that has advantages will always have disadvantages and the negative side of anonymity I know is avoiding getting into trouble with the law.
Therefore, it's better to know the viewpoint of your government when it comes to anonymity and if you know how to play cards right there's no need for anything like that.

It is perfectly fine to not be interested in anonymity personally and it is up to the person to chose how they wish to use the internet, but they should not criminalize those who do wish to maintain their anonymity and to not have their identity easily found on the internet.

This is particular with governments and government agencies who make it difficult for citizens to retain their freedom and privacy.

Anonymity is a choice and it's optional, but after checking out all the risk and disaster on the internet then you would realize that anonymity is necessary.

Most definitely. Most do not know the value of data and how it can be used and abused and as such give it up easily in exchange for access to use certain sites and platforms.
Others give it up to apply for certain airdrops and random bounties putting their information at risk of getting to the dark web.

Anonymity is something that has come to stay. 
The can cry all they want. The only reason they are crying is that they can no longer frustrate innocent citizens.

The EU world has already placed regulations on cryptocurrency although the law is not effective or strong in some areas. However, I don't see this affecting the Utopia p2p ecosystem since this is one of the problems the project was created to fix.

Well this should not be a debate I actually respect other people's position and that fine so let's stop forcing anonymity to another people. I have seen the value of anonymity on cryptocurrency and there is no going back.

I believe if giving the right reasons everyone would actually see the point as to why Anonymity should not be looked down on, CRP Crypton offers that unbeatable anonymous utilities.

It is not possible like you said, people use crypto for many reasons, even for crime, and that is the same way people also use fiat for many reasons, even for crime. So i don’t think anyone should be stopped in how they use crypto, if they want anonymity, then they should use decentralized ecosystem, and if they do not care about their privacy, they should use centralized ecosystems, but everyone should be free to do what works for them.

Re: A compilation of reasons and arguments why one should be anonymous.

No one really has to explain why they want to remain anonymous and private, it is a right that everyone should have and be able to comfortably maintain without much hassles.

This is difficult to keep in the present day and age where data is now an invaluable asset and is wanted by different parties.

Re: A compilation of reasons and arguments why one should be anonymous.

If your identity information has ever been stolen and been used to scam people or even the government then you would understand the importance of anonymity. Many type of criminals are on the internet you won’t want to expose yourself to them.

You are right mate I have seen people lose their passport details and all sensitive information to the wrong hands. Generally the internet should be decentralized for everyone’s safety.

It's not about a piece of individual information being used for scam activities or stolen guys. Every individual that makes use of an email like Gmail, Yahoo, etc is in danger. There's a site that can be used to track people all social media accounts with just the use of an email address.

Such platforms definitely exists, one just need to know the right places to look for them.

One I know of is Signal which is a privacy inclined version of whatsApp and ticks all the boxes you pointed out
Another is Bisq, which is a privacy oriented exchange which replaces centralized platforms.

I will update the thread as I get more.
