2.3. "What's the 'Big Picture'?"
 2.3.1. Strong crypto is here. It is widely available.
 2.3.2. It implies many changes in the way the world works. Private
   channels between parties who have never met and who never
   will meet are possible. Totally anonymous, unlinkable,
   untraceable communications and exchanges are possible.
 2.3.3. Transactions can only be *voluntary*, since the parties are
   untraceable and unknown and can withdraw at any time. This
   has profound implications for the conventional approach of
   using the threat of force, directed against parties by
   governments or by others. In particular, threats of force
   will fail.
 2.3.4. What emerges from this is unclear, but I think it will be a

   anarchy." (Voluntary communications only, with no third
   parties butting in.
