Having The Bitcoin Privacy Discussion With Politicians Will Be Difficult — Please Help

2

I have spoken with a number of politicians in the past few weeks. They all see that bitcoin stores value and believe that American citizens have the right to keep their own keys.

I cannot say that he is uncomfortable to hear elected officials who express these opinions and even propose bills that would write down legislation in support of the Bitcoin in the law. It is certain that it is refreshing, especially after the political hostility that Bitcoin and the Bitcoin industry endured within the framework of the Biden administration.

However, there is still a work to be done, and a lot of this work includes the call to maintain our right to deal with bitcoin separately.

One of the best privacy tools that we have in the Bitco Base is Bitcoin, which helps users hide their transactions.

One of the most famous mixers was Samourai Wallet, which enabled users to mix Bitcoin in a friendly manner. This means that the wallet developers and wallet did not touch the special keys to users.

This program was closed early last year, when, when the US Department of Justice (Doj) Compact fees Against samurai developers, including the plot to operate unlicensed money to transfer business and conspire to commit money laundering fees. (Tornado Cash developers, open source mixing programs published on Ethereum, are also Facing similar fees))

Some politicians, including Senator Sentea Lomes (R-WY), and Ron and Eden, have come out to support Samurai developers, formula a letter To the former American public prosecutor, The Honoraable Merck Garland, in which they made it clear that the developers were not clear that the money transfer company according to the definition of such work is in FINCEN instructions from 2019. (However, Senator Lomes also participated invoice Where the American Treasury calls for “a study on combating unknown encryption assets such as asset mixes,” but I am digging.)

Mixers are incredibly important for human rights activists who need to maintain their identity when sending and receiving funds as well as for ordinary people who appreciate the privacy of transactions.

Therefore, we need to draw the attention of politicians this issue, because many are uncommon for it, so we hope that more of them will be in defense of Samourai developers and see the importance of maintaining the right of American citizens to use mixers.

For this reason, I ask you to use the message template published by my colleague Xinobi at the end of this article to write your representatives.

Just as we gathered to Russian freedom and protect the right to self -custody, we must mobilize support for the privacy of transactions.

This is something I can't do alone. i need your help. Therefore, please adhere to this call to work and inform your representatives about this, so that I have a conversation with them by the time I am with them, they have some understanding of this issue.
