Topic: New US presidents are privacy-friendly? - page 2. (Read 423 times)
Biden has appointed Janet Yellen to succeed Treasury Secretary, but she made critical remarks this week, saying that cryptocurrencies are “mainly used for illegal financing”
Biden Is Expected to Keep Scrutiny of Tech Front and Center Issues like antitrust and privacy would remain on the agenda as his administration pursued policies to limit the power of the industry’s giants.
It's not a wrong decision to block the proposals until future review.
But IMO Biden's administration is not so privacy-friendly. One of the first goals is to increase taxes. To raise taxes and collect more taxes, you have to know where people hold their 'hidden' money; thus, privacy is a 'bad thing'.

The new president is more emotionally stable than the previous president (this is a very good advantage). Although he may not support cryptocurrency, he at least maintains a neutral attitude.
It's too early to speak for most of this actions, presidency is something as a body, even if he is an emotional person, a proper review will be conducted before any legal actions will follow, if the body report otherwise, that's the final decision.
People seems to love Biden perhaps because he is calm but they shouldn't forget that green snake are dangerous. Trump was playful when he came to office and later changed his ways.
Biden is a Communist and all Communists like to tax as much as possible. Look at what happened to the US's healthcare under Obama.
Biden's Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, said "crypto should be curtailed" and it is "mainly used for illegal financing". This does not sound good for Bitcoin:

The crypto market tanked on the news. Monero was especially hurt.
Yellen used to run the Federal Reserve and she will continue the marriage of the Federal Reserve and the Treasury that began under Trump.
Crypto competes with the dollar. The Federal Reserve is all about inflating the dollar. Yellen won't like the competition.
My hunch is that Biden/Yellen will not be friendly to crypto.

I don't think any president should be expected to increase anonymity in any area of the Internet. The president is just a person appointed as the head of the country, and those who actually rule the world are always in the shadows. In general, there is a tendency towards an increase in government control and a decrease in privacy and anonymity on the Internet, some laws are constantly being adopted in this direction, and so on. We are all being prepared for digital slavery.
It's not even a matter of who really runs the state according to all sorts of conspiracy theories. The president, like any government official, is a representative of the state system, and the state is always interested in having as much information about its citizens as possible, and unfortunately, at first, some elements of the so-called digital slavery cannot be avoided until there are tools to combine the interests of an individual citizen and the state for mutual benefit. 
I'd still take Biden any day compared to Trump, at least the guy had the guts to ensure that something he would like to impose a rule on is researched well and not just be thrown a cease and desist order on. After all anonymity doesn't equate good internet environment. At times it's much more adequate to have some form of identification, now what they do with our information, that I don't want to delve into this topic anymore.

The US is one of the countries with the largest crypto market in the world. we all know that since the previous president's leadership, the US is very unfriendly to privacy, with the freezing of rules from the previous rule makers as if it is giving fresh breath to businessman and crypto traders.
If they can do that, it will be much better. Although I still think there are people who are going to misuse that word, ‘privacy’, if it’s given to them. I think it’s always good to consider both sides of things before making a decision. I will be happy if they will do anything that will help promote cryptocurrency in any way possible.Let’s wait till they have reviewed the rules and we will see what action they are going to take, that will help us know for sure what kind leaders they are, and whether the next four years of their rule is going to favour crypto or not.
They will still continue what was started, they all see crypto to be regulated and there will be no privacy for it. All governments right now are up to regulated the cryptocurrency market, if people manage to profit from any investment they have the government will do everything they can to take what they could that belongs to them. Biden is no different.

It's just a simple decision and as far as I know it's not confirmed yet. Since Biden didn't start to work and make important decisions yet. We do need to wait for the confirmation to sure this gonna be happen. However, Biden seems to be more bitcoin friendly than Trump, not specifically himself but there are some bitcoiners between his cabinet I guess. That's why during this time after Biden started to work the bitcoin price can rise more and there will be more interest between people. However, these are just some theories and we need to wait to see what gonna be happen.
I hope the new president, Joe Biden, can be friendly to crypto, this will certainly have an impact on the crypto market around the world. crypto in the US is now in joe biden's hands, if joe biden can apply lucrative rules, it looks like a crypto boom will come soon
If he can do that, I think crypto will become more popular than now, and we will see the mass adoption will grow more. But maybe in these situations, Biden will concern this pandemic and try to solve the problem and help the people who get affected. But no matter if Biden will become friends or not to crypto, the mass adoption in crypto will come by itself because people will see if crypto can give them benefits or not. I'm pretty sure Biden will do as much as he can to reverse as much of Trump's foolish legacy, he can. Trump when tweeted how Bitcoin was a fraud and he trusts only the US dollars, it's not going to be a surprise if Biden becomes exactly opposite of it since the base of his campaign started from removing Trump. So, thinking optimistically about it, I'm sure Biden will have a much softer stance on crypto regulations 
Four years will not be enough to undo all the problems that Trump had incurred at that time period, not to mention that Joe Biden is old and I do not think that it will be on his best interest to improve the country for the future. Do not believe what these politicians says, those who believe those promises also thinks that the prostitutes they hire are in love with them, everyone will say what makes them favorable remember that.

I also read very often about the development of news about crypto since President Joe-Biden became the number one person in the United States.
Interesting thing and I don't think it's surprising that Biden will become fully involved in crypto in the US.
In the Archive joe-biden document before the election took place, Biden received full support from the CEO.
Archive joe-biden.
So after all that happened, it is very natural and positive that crypto in the US generates a good response from Biden as is happening today.
Biden to pick blockchain scholar to head SEC regulator
Biden administration could be friendly to crypto
The two news shows that crypto in the future, especially in the US, will have a perfect fate.

New US presidents are privacy-friendly?
I cant imagine any USA president to go to toilet and keep doors open. Or to swap white house walls with glass. Privacy is incorporated in western worlds society. No transparent ledger money will ever be mass used. It can be in China. It can be in North Korea. It will not happen in Europe or USA.
There's likely no government in the world that is privacy-friendly at this point. With the tech developing and advancing at such a creepily-fast pace, privacy is gonna be a thing of the past sooner than we think. Biden and his team will not be privacy-friendly either. What they might do is just abolish their plans only to introduce even more surveillance & control, but camouflaged in a better way. That's it.
Actually they are more concern about their private life than the privacy of the public so I’m really doubt that the new administration will in favor more on the privacy of their constituents. The election was done already and this is the time to work on their promises, its too early to speculate by I hope this new administration will deliver the good thing and make the America great again. 
It is like that they have to take time to study it first whatever the implications that it can bring or, they don't have much time for it to study right away and that's why they're asking for an extension. It can be a good news for now because they've delayed it.
But what if the next news that would come from them will be stricter than Fin Cen?
