I've Copped a Bit of Flack Myself, I'm Just Very Confused by What's Going On.

Bidcoin has been criticised for using chain surveillance firms inside what is purportedly a privacy wallet. 'I just, i'm just very confused by what's going on,' says co-founder and podcaster of BitCoin Talk John Defterios. He thinks the move may be an attempt to get ahead of other coin joint providers who are trying to curb competition in the space. But he also believes that if you're building something like bidcoin which gives its s ability to transact privately and outside of the state's control, you will face friction.
