As a developer of these technologies, you're in a completely different situation than the investors. Crypto-technologies have obvious value anywhere privacy is desired, but once productized as a virtual floating asset, the value becomes much harder to quantify, and then the grifters appear. Seems to me incorporating less privacy, a private side-channel for checks and balances of sorts, is something necessary. But I'm not a crypto-technologist, just someone with a graduate economics education, so my impressions may be irrelevant.

- lojack 9y agoPrivacy is actually a common misconception when it comes to cryptocurrency. More currencies, bitcoin included, are actually the opposite of private – every transaction is completely public for everyone to see. There are currencies (i.e. Monero) that aim to add privacy, but by and large it doesn’t exist.
