Hiding money flow from public view. It is trivial to automatically trace all transfers on the blockchain. And the same way I don't post my banking history to the Internet, I have a reasonable need to not have all of my Bitcoin transactions fully transparent to everyone in the world.

So tl;dr: The legal use is: Protect my privacy.

That doesn't mean I am doing anything illegal. I might be doing something perfectly legal but socially controversial - maybe I make campaign contributions to the communist party, or consume an unhealthy amount of furry porn. It might also be legal but I have a need to hide my finances from someone specific - maybe an abusive spouse, maybe overly controlling parent, maybe a stalker.

For the moment, Bitcoin is still a bit of a niche thing, but the more it moves into mainstream, the more people will have the interest and the capabilities to use Bitcoin to breach people's privacy when they use Bitcoins to pay for something.

What it means is very clear, especially since it's included in TFA's summary. Did you even bother to read the topic or did you just find an excuse to claim ML helps progress because AI?

When folded, the Z-flip is also about twice as thick as a non-folding Galaxy phone, but it's actually more comfortable in a front pants pocket if you climb stairs often enough.

I've experimented with this. It's because the tradeoff lets the folded phone slide around more freely (compared with a larger phone), and that's the key to comfort.

By the same argument, the Z-fold design combines the worst of both the regular, non-folding phones (namely their height is comparable to a pants pocket) and the extra thickness of the Z-flip.

That's not a gas station!

And it was as if a million people in the audience cried out at once.

And if that doesn't work, we'll appeal to an even higher authority.

It's already in the works.

The Pope is technically infallible.

He has a direct wifi connection to the Invisible One In The Sky.

So when he gets put to the question, it will take a day, two tops, and he'll relay the Big Boy's exact wishes to the old girls.

Two and a half, if saturday's barbecue party in the Vatican's garden is particularly bangin'

Was Reagan enough to make any sane kid choose to be depressed?

Are you saying encryption should be banned for Assange's own good?

Would you be happier if I'd run my response through ChatGPT first?

What if I want to buy drugs because prohibition is stupid and just makes me want to use drugs more to escape the stupid reality stupid politicians force on me?

Was Assange an organized criminal or a journalist?

Just how much trust are you willing to place in authority? Is ICE good because it's a government authority? Should Trump kill all boaters because some are satisfying a demand as goid capitalists should?

What if kids with smartphones get depressed because they see society as it really is, not the lie you're trying to push on them?

What if suicided 12-year-olds weren't counted and they disproportionately didn't use smartphones?

Are you a grumpy old person?

Can you think of legal uses where you deposit untainted crypto just because you want privacy? Should that be shut down because it's also used for money laundering? Are you attacking a symptom that has multiple causes, as if only one of the causes matters and screw the rest of the perfectly legal uses?
