It's interesting to combine the reaction in the comments here with the usual HN comment consensus on privacy.

So, usually, it goes like this: privacy is good, government has no business snooping around, and Bitcoin-like solutions for financial privacy are the future of resisting "the system". But in this case, consensus is different: privacy is bad, governments of the world need to know financial information of individuals, and whoever tries to protect this information is evil.

Am I the only one who sees the irony here?
