I've been following up this case and I've come to understand that this wasn't the first time Edward Snowden has highlighted vulnerabilities in Bitcoin's privacy measures, over 10 years now he's been repeatedly warning Bitcoin developers that Bitcoin's protocol level has been flawed.

It's really shocking how they've chosen to pay no mind these several warnings over the years even after knowing the essentiality of privacy and anonymity in the Bitcoin community.
Perhaps his last warning now about the clock ticking would awaken their interests on this issue. Or not.

The community needs to understand that, putting privacy measures in place, just like conjoin, confidential transactions as well as other anonymity enhancement techs at Bitcoin's protocol level could be quite a viable option towards maintaining the privacy and security of the Bitcoin network.
The community needs to put some unanimous effort towards addressing this issue in order to make sure that bitcoin remains safe and privacy preserving asset for all of its users.
Let's just hope it doesn't require or take another ten years or decade before this issue is addressed just like Jameson had potentially said.
