Dr. Craig mentioned bitcoin is pesudonymous but not anonymous, here I searched for the difference between these two words, here they are:
Anonymity means that someones identity is completely unknown. Any statements or writings made by an anonymous person can not be associated with the individual who actually made them. Indeed, if at some future time the identity of said person becomes known, they can no longer be called anonymous.
Pseudonymous merely means you are not using your real, legal name to identify yourself. While it's possible to be anonymous while using a pseudonym, and many people use pseuodnyms for that purpose, they are not necessarily the same. As a simple example, consider any of the dozens of authors that write under pen names: Mark Twain is a pseudonym for Samuel Clemens, but no one would consider Mark Twain "anonymous". Many authors, actors, or musicians use pseudonyms, and continue to use them, long after their identity has become public knowledge.
简言之,anonymous是匿名,身份隐匿的,而pseudonymous只是使用假名的。
在Bitcoin中,只是可以pesudonymous而用户其实无法做到anonymous,因为每一笔转账交易都是traceable的,有迹可循的。
而这也是比特币最初设计的目的所在,并非是要做非法交易,地下黑市的交易货币,而是要成为一个统一而方便的线上支付体系,减少或降低各国政府发行货币背后带来的政府信用危机问题。
CSW正在为他的理想战斗,从长期看,这是造福后世子孙,避免布雷顿森林体系坍塌,避免美元霸权,也避免一些滥发货币带来的金融危机,毕竟比特币诞生于2008年金融海啸那个多事之秋。
不过这可能延伸了这样一个问题,如果今后将钱包的KYC普及之后,实际上所有的account都是可以控制的。
