According to an internal NSA memo dated March 2013, the National Security Administration (NSA) has been systematically targeting any Bitcoin users they want, by tricking them into giving up personal information through privacy protection software and by tracking their computer activity and financial transactions.
People who want to preserve the privacy of their financial transactions gravitate toward cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. As a digital currency, Bitcoin uses encryption to regulate its units. This encryption conceals the financial transaction from being monitored and controlled by banks, financial institutions, and law enforcement. The drawback: The anonymity of Bitcoin allows organized crime a means to launder money.
The U.S. National Security Administration knows this, and they equate the desire for privacy as a desire to conceal illicit activity. In the search for terrorist activity, the NSA indiscriminately breaches the privacy of any Bitcoin users. This includes monitoring web activity and stealing passwords through covert means. The problem with the war on terror and the massive surveillance state is that it inadvertently puts innocent people in the crosshairs, while shredding away privacy for all.
