I somewhat optimistically see two different vectors that could move independently: - untraceability: it’s probably out of the window. I don’t know how much we still had, but with full digital money everywhere it’s dead and buried. - practical privacy: could probably be saved. It’s hope more than anything, but just as we currently don’t have a social score system while technically all the pieces are in place, I think digital money would stay in the same status quo as long as we keep the same social values. Basically, we already have safeguards against widespread abuse of our digital systems, otherwise we’d already be in the same social state as China, I don’t see any technical barrier to that. The question would be on wether we can preserve that going forward.
