Eu sunt cel care nu inteleg nimic din discutie? Sau, de fapt, tu te prefaci ca toate incidentele istorice nu au existat?
Hai sa vedem doar cateva din aceste incidente istorice:
- in primul rand, dupa cum am scris si anterior, firmele care colecteaza big data sunt la dispozitia guvernului, asa cum are acesta chef. Guvernul, care este mare amator de bug data, si-a dat seama intr-un final ca nu poate sa colecteze de unul singur toate datele. Astfel ca a ajuns sa se foloseasca dupa bunul plac de companiile care colecteaza si ele la randul lor date personale. Cele doua cazuri mentionate de mine mai sus au existat in realitate. In momentul in care WikiLeaks a incput sa puna probleme serioase tiraniei guvernului, acesta a silit Twitter si Google sa predea toate datele pe care le aveau despre Julian Assange. Mai mult, a obligat aceste companii sa nu sufle un cuvant despre faptul ca le-a obligat sa predea aceste date. Google
Mai departe: Twitter a primit aceeasi somatie. Spre diferenta de Google insa, Twitter s-a ridicat impotriva guvernului, actionand in instanta decizia de a fi obligati sa nu informeze partile implicate despre faptul ca le va preda datele personale. Culmea, a castigat. Si l-a anuntat pe Assange ca ii va preda datele pe mana guvernului. In final, rezultatul a fost acelasi: si Twitter a predat toate datele despre WikiLeaks / Assange catre guvern. Un articol BBC descrie situatia: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-12141530.
Cu alte cuvinte, eu, cel care se uita la Antena3, fara intelege nimic din discutie, observ ca orice data detinuta de o companie poate ajunge oricand pe mana guvernului. Totusi, eu sunt cel care nu intelege nimic. Datele puse la dispozitia Google sunt in deplina siguranta. Se vede.
- in al doilea rand, continuad discutia despre "hate-ul nejustificat la adresa exchange-urilor centralizate": este binecunoscuta zicala "nu sunt cheile tale, nu sunt banii tai". Oare ai idee cine a spus aceasta vorba? Evident ca nu. Iti spun eu: Andreas Antonopoulos. Asta e mai putin important insa, intrucat pe tine nu te intereseaza saq te culturalizezi in domeniul crypto, ci doar sa faci bani. Inclusiv din metode care pun oamenii in primejdie de a-si pierde banii.
Zicala de mai sus a devenit mai adevarata decat oricand, in conditiile in care pana si o instanta de judecata a spus acest lucru: https://www.btctimes.com/news/this-court-ruling-just-made-not-your-keys-not-your-bitcoin-case-law. Mai precis, un om a pierdut bani din cauza unui exchange centralizat, iar instanta i-a spus ceva de genul "pai cin' te-a pus nene sa-ti tii banii in exchange?! I-ai pus acolo, iti asumi". Ce exchange a fost acuzat? Culmea, tot titanul din domeniu numit Coinbase, care in urma cu ceva vreme vindea datele personale ale clientilor.
[...]
Banii care pot disparea intr-un scenariu dezastros sunt cei din hotwallet-uri (~20%). Momentan avem posibilitatile financiare sa-i returnam in cazul in care acest lucru se va intampla. Pe viitor, adica atunci cand suma de 20% ne depaseste posibilitatile de refund, vom apela la un serviciu de asigurare
- in al treilea rand, discutand tot despre "hate-ul nejustificat": am mai tot scris despre cate exchange-uri au fost sparte si sute de mii de oameni au pierdut zeci de milioane de dolari. Alt fleac, nu?
Hai sa vedem cate exchange-uri centralizate au fost sparte de-a lungul timpului. Gratie muncii depuse de VB1001 in topicul Hacked Exchanges since 2011, aflam despre urmatoarele exchange-uri (cu mentiunea ca lista nu este 100% completa):

Toate cele de mai sus nu sunt menite sa iti explic tie de toate pericolele pe care le aduc exchange-urile centralizate, intrucat le stii si tu foarte bine. In fond, esti o cota parte a acestui scam imens.. Tot ce am scris este menit sa deschida oamenilor ochii asupra acestor pericole, dar si sa vada ipocrizia unui patron de exchange care incearca sa le explice cate de frumoase sunt lucrurile. Nu este nimic frumos in a-ti pierde banii si datele personale! Si nici in a te trezi cautat de cineva de pe dark net care a pus mana pe datele tale si incearca sa te talhareasca, nici in a te trezi cu fiscul la usa! Bitcoin nu a fost creat pentru ca oamenii sa fie oprimati si mai mult de guverne, ci pentru a-i elibera de guverne. Nu a fost creat nici pentru a-i imbogati pe patronii de exchange-uri, ci pentru a scoate orice intermediar dintr-o tranzactie financiara. El reprezinta munca de ani de zile a grupului de Cypherpunks.
