I agree, I used to say similar in r/Bitcoin back in the day but the community don't like to hear it. What would help fight against it would be for Bitcoin to be private by default and a decentralized exchange that works on par with a centralized one. Then they would have a harder time enforcing it without requiring KYC for regular transactions to a store, which would be excessive.

Good to have some critical thinkers here. Too many people make a religion out of it and treat every concern or critique as heresy. The more time passes, the more unlikely it is that bitcoin gets any privacy features - and if it finally does, the ETFs could own so much corn that they can let the privacy enhanced chain fork off and die.

I dont really get why this does not get addressed by the community, it is a pressing issue since more than 10 years now.

Privacy doesn’t have to be on L1.

FYI your comments are outlawed now, probably because others noticed you weren’t engaging in good faith discussion (reeee covid reee vaccines boosters reee).

I can’t read them without extra effort I’m not willing to expend but you are free to scream into the void.

thanks for letting me know. Makes the whole stacker crowd look like little girls crying that somebody said something they dont want to hear about their favorite barbie costume.

i agree, i said the same in 2017 with UASF and 2x. But after 6 years, the state of lightning is fucked, using a self hosted lightning wallet is a total pain in the ass.

Most people use third party hosted lightning wallets because of that, self hosted lightning is way to complicated still after 6 years.

And third party hosted wallets provide absolute zero privacy by design.
