“All bitcoin transactions are equal, but, to misquote Orwell, should some bitcoin transactions be more equal than others? A proposal emerged this week that could please regulators and law enforcers alike, by ‘marking’ bitcoin transactions or addresses to make illicit activities easier to track. And another proposal from a New York-based startup would increase regulator confidence by tying identities more closely to bitcoin addresses. The danger with either of them is that while they may be opt-in and voluntary at the start, we can’t predict what might happen later.”
