Help me out here: is there any legit use for cryptocurrency tumblers (e.g. other than avoiding law enforcement)? @vgr @Aelkushttps://twitter.com/deviantglobal/status/957966598022709248 …

Well, it makes opaque “how much you have” and “what transactions you’ve been a party to” - laundering but also business competition, medical stuff, hiding my crypto riches from my siblings etc

Medical stuff, ok maybe. But you have to be pretty darn sick to need to anonymize $500m worth of medical bills! The rest of those examples ain’t legit in my normative book.

As in "the government has no right to know that I have nothing to hide" -- same logic as for citizen access to encryption of all personal data. States have to prove their need to know. Citizens don't have to defend their need to hide.

Now here I confess I must disagree, quite sharply. There are no rights or “citizens” except within the rubric of the state. So, if we are in fact (as you claim—I am dubious) emerging into a Post-Westphalian order, then rights-based claims making must also be kaput.

Not necessarily. If rights and enforcement are dynamic (as in, my responsibilities kick in to varying degrees as I assert rights to varying degrees) you have varying privileges, and others have varying right to peek, as you live, work, travel geographically/digitally.
