You make logical points, but you’re missing a fundamental factor that trumps all else—and that’s freedom & tyranny. Crypto and blockchain technology, if and when implemented correctly, has the ability to free us from the world’s abusive power structures, which ultimately makes the world a better place for all of us. “Full transparency” is not a virtue for freedom when you’re referring to THE PEOPLE. It’s only virtuous when applied to a power structure. Citizen privacy is completely essential in order to have freedom. Without it, what’s to stop a tyrannical government from strong-arming me after they lookup my public net worth?
