Scammers hacked the late actor Matthew Perry’s Twitter account and posted a fake plea for cryptocurrency donations in the name of his foundation. The foundation confirmed the post was a scam and urged people not to donate.
The article details several possibilities for how the account may have been compromised, highlighting the importance of strong passwords and multi-factor authentication for securing social media accounts, especially for celebrities with large followings.
Then you’re in trouble.
You can easily be watched by police when you’re using cryptocurrency, so an entire surveillance state should have no problem.
Sorry but if it is available for anyone to use its public, you can’t use a blockchain currency without downloading and referencing the block chain. Something that can NOT be changed by you or I
Replace blockchain with ledger, because that is what it is. It is no more secure than using a fucking bank card.

Do me a favor and look up Monero Ring CT and stealth addresses. It’s not totally private, but if you are one of sixteen, there is a very low chance of being identified, and the more transactions away you are, the lower the chance of being identified properly. Also, full membership proofs are in the works, which would make the possible transaction part of every other transaction on the chain up until that point. And there won’t be a way to easily trace.
Edit: i did the work for you.

Fine. Which one can people be absolutely sure a nation state can’t watch them use?
