Actively pursuing privacy protecting practices with digital currencies falls under our natural, God-given right to self-defense, just like firearms. Can it be used for illicit purposes? Of course, just as guns. However, this doesn't make the everyday use of it any less legitimate than to conceal carry. They are the same right for the same purpose: self-defense, not only against adversarial individuals but also potential tyrants. Therefore, only potential tyrants would force us to lay down our arms and lower our digital defenses. A government that wills the good of its citizens would recognize and codify this practice in self-defense as protected.
