Cant crypto actually be good for privacy?
Not at all, the ledger is public, it's not tied to names, only IDs but it's trivially easy to tie a person to a Bitcoin account if they're under surveillance
If you live in a country that cares about law you might attract attention with a large Bitcoin balance and enough transactions to tie it to you
In practice, not really.
