Tim Draper – Cryptocurrencies are watching more than cash!

Do you use cryptocurrencies and do you think the law will not reach you? Think again! Bitcoin, like most coins, is anonymous only when used correctly.

Tim Draper claimed that cash is actually a preferred option for bad actors since it’s much harder to track.

U.S. Marshals are watching you 

Draper won the very first Bitcoin auction conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service back in June 2014. Because of his forward-thinking vision, he was able to pocket 29,656 ill-gotten coins that were seized from criminals and turn it into a crypto fortune. Even though the VC boss didn’t reveal how big his BTC coffers are, he did mention that he owns “a lot of it” during his recent CNBC interview. 

The venture capitalist predicts that all U.S. Marshals offices are watching accounts that are related to shady transactions. He ‘absolutely’ believes they have the necessary tools to keep track of them at all times.   

More than drug money 

Draper recalled that the Mt. Gox hack happened in 2014 when Bitcoin only started to take off, and he thought that that could be the end of it all. However, on news of the biggest crypto exchange effectively losing all of its money, the BTC price only dropped around 15 percent. 

Draper initially thought that BTC was only used by drug dealers, but he then did some deep research and realized that it has plenty of use cases such as micropayments.   

Summary

If you’re using Bitcoin, the government probably knows. And if not, he’ll find out once. So be more careful and criminal activities associated with cryptocurrencies rather forget.

“It turns out if you wanna be a criminal, you should use cash.”
