I have mixed feelings about privacy. I think that transparency can be good in the right context. Selective transparency as a tool for coercion is what I'm worried about. The financial transparency that some cryptocurrencies promote is a net positive in my opinion. I like the idea that the most valuable cryptos are also the most public ones. It's as if society was paying people a premium for choosing a transparent currency as their base. Celebrities give up more of their personal privacy as they become more famous so it would make sense that wealthy people should give up more of their financial privacy as they become richer.
