Scary. Anonymized assassination will be good for cryptocurrencies because it will create incentives for powerful people to further hide themselves. To do this, they will have to disconnect themselves from centralized financial systems which are easily traceable (due to their reliance on laws which identify them by name and profile photo).

Power is going to become even more hidden than it already is; not only will powerful people need to hide from the public, they will need to hide from each other.

The cyberpunks were by far the most prophetic sci-fi writers.
