A digital payment rails that functions like cash, as in my bank can’t prevent me from handing it over to whoever I want for whatever legal reason is a critical aspect of a free society that has gone digital.

You might disagree with bitcoin and co being the answer for this, but it’s the only tech that’s posed a viable solution as of now. Viable is not perfect. But if this article bothers you, at least understand this a (the) major aspect of why people work on serious cryptocurrency projects.
