Funny comment was made by Jameson that we might take another ten years to do this 
The clock is ticking...
What is Jameson implying by that statement. Does he mean that Bitcoin developers don't see eye to eye on this?The clock is ticking...
Every individual developer will have their own priorities and things they'd like to see implemented first. Privacy improvements will naturally be more important to some compared to others. It's all a question of who is putting the work in and what they can convince others to accept.
Is privacy good for Bitcoin?
In theory, yes. However, it's impossible to tell how governments and regulators will react. Plus, it's all largely moot if the majority of users are simply handing their funds and their personally identifiable information over to total strangers in the internet (KYC'd exchanges) to hold onto anyway. Some people just can't be helped.
