According to Bitcoin.com, Edward Snowden, a well-known whistleblower, delivered a keynote speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, highlighting the pitfalls of political allegiance and concerns about Bitcoin privacy. Snowden called on people to participate in voting, but warned against blindly following political ideologies. "Vote, but don't join a cult," he stressed. Snowden pointed out that Bitcoin transactions are not anonymous and can be traced back to individuals, which poses a risk to personal privacy. He explained that most transactions can be linked through various entry points (such as exchanges that comply with regulatory requirements), exposing information about users' lives and relationships. Snowden warned that governments and companies may use artificial intelligence to analyze this data and create detailed personal profiles without consent. He called for vigilance and strengthening the security of Bitcoin transactions to protect user privacy in an increasingly digital and surveilled world.
