This discussion is akin to getting the government to understand that they are public servants paid by the public to do the work, and an epitome of the cliché that absolute power corrupts absolutely. What's new? ʞɔnɟ The CC System ⩜

Very funny. A Bitcoiner is concerned about privacy issues because of an OP_RETURN record, not because the whole chain is a traceable, transparent surveillance shit-show chain. Maybe you need a Monero.

Don't tell me what Bitcoin is. I know exactly what Bitcoin is. It's the radical utopian idea that a society has finally evolved beyond the primitive need for every single unit of account to be perfectly indistinguishable. Who cares for a fungible medium of exchange? In our enlightened future, we'll use transparent, traceable money that all well-intentioned governments can easily seize. Damn, paradise, man, sound money AF.

Bitcoin is like the next-generation bank account. Your 'bank' now publishes full account history, private details redacted, of course. Your bank account number is now public, so anyone can send you money at any time, if they care. This upgrade guarantees that no one knows your financial history, except for those who should and those who shouldn't. The institutions, governments, select third parties, and the criminals. Makes it easier for everyone, doesn't it?

🚨BREAKING: An extremely rare event, a supermassive FED black hole has been patched by another singularity and no longer accreting financial matters into the system.

I appreciate it's very hard to notice throughout all the encryption and that, but here's a shocker: All cypherpunks left bitcoin for monero and pirate chain (to be fair). The remainder is a sum of hypocrites who used to be or pretend to be.

The problem isn't choice. You're free to publish your bank statement on X or Nostr, if you will. The problem lies in the deception backed by corporate and state organs, followed by your misconceptions, as you claim privacy where there is none. "An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy." - It's NOT a forced choice. Monero is the only real crypto at this point. With Bitcoin you have no privacy, and ZCash twisted it around. "A semi-anonymous system empowers individuals to hide their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the antithesis of privacy." - It's akin to a privacy kindergarten. With 50% of Zcash transactions were shielded, on-chain traceability might drop to about 70%, in line with known heuristic techniques. The 70% includes transparent, fully traceable transactions, plus graph clustering/patterns in the shielded pool. Zcash has no equivalent implementation to Dandelion++, and the IP/timing correlations are unaffected by shielding. Chainalysis will still boast a 90% overall flow traceability through the use of node-based surveillance. The non-uniformity of transactions in optional privacy undermines even "private" transactions without user-level op-sec. The transparent ledger, exchange registers, and said heuristics narrow the shielded pool significantly. "When my identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy." Ergo, ZCash is selling a lie. The pump is artificial and designed to perpetuate the lie.
