Nice article on privacy myths by @a16z good to see people actually thinking critically again rather than repeating clichés. I've talking about privacy misconceptions for the last two years, and the space remains one of the most misunderstood categories, shaped by limited applications, bad examples, and ego-driven narratives, rather than its true potential. Funny (and a bit sad) how relevant that old talk still is:

Privacy has no PMF? 40% of US equity trades are private Stripe will get sued without it Limited privacy protocols already make $30M/year that’s more real revenue than most top crypto projects. Stop pigeonholing yourself into memecoin and crime infra.

cosmos should skip the passive-aggressive "I was right" hints. we should announce enterprise deals, roll out a buyback mechanism ASAP, and let the price action speak. market wants one thing: a clear and early business vision on paper, not x comments or spaces.

Fairblock is now a top mindshare gainer on Kaito. All organic, without getting listed on the leaderboard, no paid KOLs, or large VC rounds. Our tech works, and people like what we're doing.

we don't need privacy-preserving tech, it's all right

having a kid is like entering a 20-year illiquid position. you’re -70% in sleep, money, and freedom by your 40s, but there’s a ~60% chance of +120% emotional ROI in your 60s.

how many of those chains need confidentiality, and how many will leak every single action and number?

forget economic security, we need economic privacy
