X : What problem?
Me : Lack of transparency. Ownership should be public.
X : The blockchain is open.
Me : Not the ownership of addresses. That's shrouded in the cloak of "privacy!" but it's far more political than that. It also perpetuates the "ethics of choice".

X : Ethics of choice?
Me : Hmmm, we are all a balance between "Me" and "We". The "Me" is all about our choice, the ethics of choice. The "We" is all about our duty to others, the ethics of care ...

i.e. philanthropy (the ethics of choice) needs and supports financially powerful individual who tend to minimise paying taxes (the ethics of care) and hence perpetuates a system which causes many of the problems that their philanthropic efforts claim to combat ...
i.e. child poverty wouldn't be a thing if enough taxes were paid as we could build the support structures to eliminate it.
X : And bitcoin?
Me : It's wrapped up in the ethics of choice, the individual, the "Me" which is why privacy is so important. That's what I don't like. A cryptocurrency built on the ethics of care would be more appropriate for a collective or a system such as society.
