I said it was an attempt, I'm not sure it solves it..
> If you need to hide stuff from the government
All governments are not good. The US government for instance "froze" (basically took) all the money WikiLeaks had, and made it impossible to send them money through traditional banking systems. So crypto-currencies have already been important in funding an organization that uncovered war-crimes; which is a good thing.
Not all secrecy/privacy is criminal behavior, sometimes it is actual journalism. I guess we have seen so little journalism in the last few years we barely remember what it looks like.
