What other people are spending their $1.5m of bitcoin on vs my $1.5m of bitcoin

I think Ecash is unfortunately not the way. Mints are easy targets as unlicensed money transmitters

Honestly, reading through what DoJ posted on Samourai makes it obvious how they were digging themselves into a hole with some of their marketing. I wonder if it had been any different otherwise? It's probably worth saying that while the investigatory units have probably traced the "illegal" activities into Whirlpool and ricochet, they probably don't know where that money is now thanks to the mixer. > After users download Samourai, they can store their private keys for any BTC addresses they control inside of the Samourai program. These private keys are not shared with Samourai employees, but Samourai operates a centralized server that, among other things, supervises and facilitates transactions between Samourai users and creates new BTC addresses used during the transactions. Even though they had no control of the funds, they still were the facilitators of the transactions. This'll be an interesting case.

Say you had enough funding, someone could technically drill a tunnel between Sweden and Switzerland under Germany by drilling deep enough, further than any public infrastructure. You could then build a high speed underground transport line through the tunnel
