And public spreadsheets shouldn't exist anymore either. That's great for privacy but bad for transparency.

I doubt public spreadsheets are good for privacy. I don’t think anyone should see that user A receives X satoshi in the address Z.

In fact I would claim the opposite, that they are bad for privacy but good for transparency! But the address could be hidden. And that would be transparent too. It’s just not verifiable. Well, even if the address is known, it’s still not verifiable cryptographically, but it’s certainly more convincing than saying “hey, I just sent fillippone 1m satoshi”
