Understanding the Fear of Government Watching Your Money: Expert Explains
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

written by Jake Smiths

In recent years, an increasing number of people have turned to cryptocurrencies to manage their savings. One of the major reasons for this shift is the desire to keep their financial activities private and out of the government’s sight. Traditional banking systems are heavily regulated and monitored by government agencies, leading individuals to seek alternatives that offer greater privacy and autonomy. Cryptocurrencies, with their decentralized nature, provide a level of anonymity that is attractive to those wary of government surveillance. This fear is often rooted in concerns over excessive taxation, financial control, and the potential for governmental misuse of financial data.

To gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon, we spoke with Mr. Zorayr Karapetyan, Ph.D. in Economics and a renowned expert with over 15 years of working experience in public sector. Zorayr Karapetyan has extensive experience in the government auditing, including leading roles in the Audit Chamber of Armenia and profound knowledge of latest trends in government digitalization policies. His work has focused on improving transparency and accountability in management of government resources, making him a key figure in discussions about financial surveillance and privacy. According to Zorayr, the trend towards cryptocurrencies is a response to the increasing reach of governmental oversight into personal finances. He suggests that while the move to crypto can be seen as a way to maintain financial freedom, it also raises significant regulatory challenges.

“Many governments now have the authority to review financial data without the need for court verdicts or subpoenas. For example, recent legal changes have granted the Armenian State Revenue Committee unrestricted access to financial data of taxpayers. On a global scale, the OECD’s Common Reporting Standard (CRS), introduced in 2014, has significantly strengthened the exchange of account information between governments, enhancing transparency and cooperation in financial regulation,” he says.

Cryptocurrency: The Illusion of Anonymity

Zorayr Karapetyan highlights that the fear of government surveillance is not entirely unfounded, especially in cases involving felony or fraud. Governments have a legitimate interest in monitoring financial transactions to prevent and combat illicit activities.

“Engaging in cryptocurrency transactions does not guarantee evasion from government oversight,” he notes. “Both buyers and sellers, as well as the exchanges facilitating their transactions, are likely subject to regulatory jurisdiction.”

He points out that approximately 90% of crypto transactions are stored on exchanges that mostly adhere to Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. New crypto marketplaces frequently emerge, promising enhanced privacy. However, as these platforms grow, they inevitably become subject to regulatory requirements. These measures make it difficult for individuals to completely evade governmental oversight.

“Even in the world of cryptocurrencies,” Zorayr notes, “regulatory frameworks are evolving to ensure that financial transactions remain transparent and traceable when necessary. This dual reality reflects the complex relationship between financial privacy and regulatory compliance.”

Zorayr Karapetyan’s ongoing work on “The Illusion of Anonymity” underscores the delicate balance between financial freedom and literacy in relations with government.
