At which point did Rosa Parks transfer her money using an immutable public ledger?

Comparing your financial scheme to Jim Crow isn't the most distasteful thing I've seen on HN, but it's up there!

> your financial scheme

It's not my financial scheme, it's the social contract.

Rosa Parks publicly broke the law and was publicly punished for it, because that's how civil disobedience works. In doing so, she engendered significant public sympathy and acted as a spur to change minds and, eventually, laws.

Comparing that to hiding your financial transactions so you avoid KYC is genuinely embarrassing.
