Privacy as their main feature and focus just tell me exactly what they are all about. "Privacy" is what gave Bitcoin such a bad image in the first place. I need people and companies to not be some anonymous scammers thank you very much.
Wow. That's one depressing perspective.
Glad though that you've found your own personal ignorantopia.
In his world, all poker would be played with cards turned face up.
All lovers would be able to ask each other what they were thinking about and get a brutal 100% honest answer at all times.
There would be no such thing as classified information, and businesses would not be allowed to have secrets from each other.
As well, any person's bank account and hard drive would be publicly browsable by anyone at any time.
Basically, this is not the real world.
No, that's not my world. I live in this world and this doesn't happen. I run a business and no one knows my numbers, BUT if they really need to know them because authorities are after me or I've been scamming people, dealing arms and selling child pornography, they sure can and that's perfectly fine.
Privacy is a complete illusion if you think about it and Monero is build on dubious ethics if the main feature is hiding your transactions and information, great way to avoid taxes and do money laudering. No one care about "privacy" because it's meaningless in a world where you are filmed 24/7 whetever your go, go ask Snowden, people don't give a shit.
