Of course, financially, bitcoin gives us freedom from government control but I don't think that's the top priority. I think its profit is what we prioritize and care about more, then privacy.
Indeed, we prioritize the profit.
But do you think it should be the main priority over privacy? Of course, the main purpose of Bitcoin was to help people get rid of the banks and the government's slavery. But we mix it up, and we use banks with bitcoin and give them all our personal data, which they use against us. The government wants it's share from people trading earnings. The government has no role in a freelancer's life yet wants the commission from their earnings. So, the priority varies from one person to another person. Some people extremely care about their privacy. They barely care about profit.
Well, I'm not saying we should prioritize profits over privacy, but that's exactly what's happening. If people investing in bitcoin are prioritizing privacy over profits or any utility then people should not use centralized exchanges or any centralized service to store bitcoins. But you see, the majority are still relying on centralized exchanges so what's wrong with me saying that people are prioritizing profits more? But you are right, not all, there are still some people who really understand the importance of privacy and they are valuing it more than a lot of other things.
