This is an interesting development. It comes just when China is unleashing its digital yuan on the world. Many people think that digital currency, such as Bitcoin, allows for anonymity. It's just the opposite. One of the qualities of digital currency is that it's entirely transparent, and this will give China complete control over even more of Chinese citizen's daily lives, including the super wealthy.

Ok, i didn't know that - like you said, i thought the whole point was the anonymity, but i can see how it can be flipped to become an ultimate tracking device.

Guess that just leaves us with cash - and bartering.
