Fungibility and privacy are inexorably bound.
Except something can be fungible AND public which, in terms of unbacked monetary properties is far more optimal than being fungible and obscure.
In bitcoin, every coin address is visible, its balance auditable and its continuity with every other address explicit. That transparency is UNIVERSAL and SYMMETRICAL. i.e. it isn't restricted to keyholders, everyone has the same view whether you're a payer, payee, network participant or non-participant.
That's fungibility.
no, it's not... how else do you explain coinbase deleting accounts because 'shade transactions'... aka, your coins are tainted, so we close your account... aka, the coin used in shade transaction != newly minted coin
I don't know my neighbours bank balance either, I don't get your fetish with transparancy and then building optimised anonimity on top of that because muh same view wether payer, ....
no no no, I won't be dragged into this again... good luck with your dash-fantasy
