Don't remind me again today

Here's something worth chewing on: the privacy divide between tangible assets and digital ones.



Think about it—cash in your pocket, gold bars in a vault? That's anonymous wealth. Nobody's tracking every transaction. But flip to the digital side, and suddenly everything leaves a trace. Every wallet movement, every on-chain transaction potentially exposed.

The store of value debate isn't just about holding purchasing power anymore. It's evolved into a privacy conversation. Physical assets inherently protect your financial privacy. Digital assets? They need extra layers—mixers, privacy coins, zero-knowledge proofs—to achieve what cash does naturally.

That gap? It's not shrinking fast enough for some folks.

This is why I am still hoarding cash... everything on-chain is laid bare under the sun.

That's true, but in reality, most people have already been stripped clean. Privacy has long become a luxury for us.

ngl this is why I still hoard cash... on-chain transparency is transparency, but privacy is indeed a hard injury.

To put it simply, there’s no privacy on-chain. Right now, we still have to rely on mixers and privacy coins just to catch up to the level of cash, which is kind of ridiculous.

That's why I still hold some gold; on-chain privacy is really a false proposition.
