The anonymity of cryptocurrencies had made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ransomware-an-executive-guide-to-one-of-the-biggest-menaces-on-the-web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ransomware a global criminal enterprise<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Digital mirage<\/h3>\n<p>Currencies are traditionally a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account. Cryptocurrencies are bad at all three.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, they are a medium of exchange, but try to buy a house with one. Painful.<\/p>\n<p>As a store of value they are extremely unstable, since there is no underlying asset, such as the full faith and credit of a nation. Which directly reflects on the third use of currency &#8211; a unit of account &#8211; how do you maintain a set of books with a currency whose value is ever shifting?<\/p>\n<p>If you own a cryptocurrency and aren&#8217;t a criminal, you&#8217;re a speculator. To see how that ends, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tulip_mania\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">Tulip Mania<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Anonymity is the problem today<\/h3>\n<p>Good arguments can be made for a digital global currency, although that has serious problems too, as the Euro has demonstrated. The real problem is the anonymity that enables criminals to collect multi-million dollar ransoms without fear of being tracked down and brought to justice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How is that a good thing?<\/p>\n<h3>The bigger problem<\/h3>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\"> <\/section>\n<p>Suppose you are a billionaire. You&#8217;ve gotten comfortable with evaluating risks, knowing that you can deploy a phalanx of Ivy league lawyers at $1,000 an hour to make your case and hold off the law.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Gosh. Untraceable digital money. No more paying mules to haul cash across national borders. Pay foreign law firms to create shell companies to hide assets &#8211; private island, superyacht, arms dealing, drugs, sex trafficking &#8211; with untraceable cash. Yum!<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, the local tax authorities might get lucky and figure out what you&#8217;ve done, but really, they don&#8217;t have the expertise. Unregulated digital currencies are empowering a whole new level of criminal.<\/p>\n<h3>Plus, they&#8217;ve been hacked<\/h3>\n<p>Much of the technical interest in cryptocurrencies is due to the blockchain data structure, a supposedly unhackable storage technology that preserves, forever, the history of a particular coin. But as we&#8217;ve seen repeatedly, the blockchain may not be hackable, but the supporting infrastructure surely is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, one of these days quantum computing will leave computer science labs and enable the decryption &#8211; and rewriting &#8211; of cryptographically protected blockchains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, Mr. Boris owns your Bitcoin, not you. It says so right here.<\/p>\n<h3>The Take<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been watching cryptocurrencies for years. I get the attraction. But it&#8217;s now clear &#8212; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/colonial-pipeline-ransomware-attack-everything-you-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colonial pipe line shutdown<\/a> is only the latest example &#8212; that they need policing. Anonymity, at least, must end.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect that with policing, much of the attraction will disappear. Oh well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how much technobabble surrounds a bad idea. It&#8217;s still a bad idea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comments welcome. <\/strong>If you think cryptocurrencies are wonderful, please tell me, in as few words as you can manage, why.
