Some days ago I posted my thoughts to Monero speculation thread, but I suppose they much more fundamental, so I re-phrase them here and may be somewhere else. May be you guys help me in ideas where that thoughts should be posted else.
I think people are crazy if they don't respect anonymity or further fight against anonymity, like Japan's FSA that want to ban anonymous cryptocurrencies.
I assert that absence of anonymity is One Huge Vulnerability to the national security of any country. As we know most blockchains are transparent and there is just one tiny line that separates a person that stores his financial info on blockchain from total fiasco - the link between wallet address and person email, photo, address, etc.
As we can see, governments of many countries fight against anonymity (KYS etc.). Also they centralize all the personal info in one hand. But this is fatal fundamental error. As we can see, if personal data may leak it does leak in short finite time at 100% sure. Because info is a super-liquid substance like liquid helium at sub-critical temperature below ~2 kelvins.
Now transparent blockchains come to the scene. WTF???!!! Each gangster for the near future will know ALL the info about you!!! And, if you are rich enough, you will be robbed. Police is just bought or are share-holders or just have been leaked...
Look what Chinese HQ create on the days:

There is a niche for transparent blockchains, for sure. For example, they may control social things and relations in public domain.
BUT MOST OF REAL-WORLD BLOCKCHAINS MUST BE ANONYMOUS! See above...
I am very glad when I saw Ricardo Spagni introduction of Tari:

And the last drop that overflows my patience to be silent, is just found words of

Keeping records through blockchain, because it will become the best way to do so. You cant break the blockchain, you cant change anything on the blockchain. So that bring us to last thing. You cant change anything on blockchain. To some little things that have to be worked out, like example we have many witness programs. So if we know who the person is and we cant change who the person is, then that become the jeopardy to that witness. So the privacy issue comes into play about. Those are the things that has to be tweaked out.SO PLEASE OPEN EYES YOUR NEIGHBORS: ABSENCE OF ANONYMITY IS HUGE VULNERABILITY TO ALL THE COUNTRIES, not anonymity!
