Oddbean new post about login | logout You can still self-custody, right? And accused by who of being tainted? Is the Australian government just monitoring all of it in and out of exchanges and custodial wallets?
Yup, and yup. They were paying others for the analysis, but from the ads I'm seeing they're building in-house mass financial surveilance too. Bitcoin is fully-auditable and tracable. If you use it and one of your counterparties takes it to an exchange, the government can trivially find you.
