Given that debit and credit cards already comply with KYC, AML and track our payments, does adding Chainalysis affect your decision?
- Yes, I would use a Bitcoin company app with Chainalysis. I appreciate the increased security and oversight.
- No, I would not use a Bitcoin company app with Chainalysis. I prefer more privacy.
- I don't know enough about Chainalysis to decide.
- I am indifferent as long as the app provides the services I need.

Andy Greenberg's Tracers in the Dark goes in depth into Chainalysis's history and known affiliation with law enforcement and government entities, both of which make up a good chunk of the company's customers.
Would I use an app tied to Chainalysis? Absolutely not.
how would you even know?
chainanalysis is inevitable, don't worry about it, just take the necessary steps to wipe your history and use lightning where possible
Chainalysis is not inevitable and just using lightning doesn't solve the problem.
you can't stop chain analysis and there will always be demand for it, so I don't see how it isn't inevitable - the best we can do is make it hard and hopefully impossible to perform.
Just using lightning doesn't solve the problem, agreed, but the privacy benefits (especially as a sender) are significant
Chainalysis gonna chainalysis anyway
Hopefully we can get better technology in the next few years
The correct name is ChainAnal btw. Chainanalysis is just the PG-13 approved name.
No.
Kinda shocked by these results
If enough people refuse to do business with companies that use these scum bags a market for privacy focused commerce with arise. I'd argue it already has.
Why would they use Chainalysis? Im leaning toward no
Absolutely not.
Chainanalysis is an abomination.
