Recently, there's been more arguing in the group about privacy coins/mixing coins—whether they count as "original sin" or not. Some call for compliance, others advocate for freedom. It all sounds pretty exciting, but I'm more interested in a more boring main thread: who is keeping the books, who is lining up, and when will it truly be implemented. Data availability, simply put, is "can you get the ledger," sorting is "who cuts in line first," and finality is "whether it crashes or can be reversed." The bigger these terms are, the easier it is to scare people into forgetting to ask: who ultimately receives the money on this chain/rollup, whether the fee switch is turned on, where the money goes once it's on, and whether governance voting is about handing out tokens or cash flows. Anyway, I don't take sides; I only care about cash flow. Don't slap me with values—first clarify the path, then talk about justice. The group is pretty heated, so I'll mute myself for a while.
