To be honest, privacy coins and mixers have been targeted, and I’m not the least bit surprised. On-chain transparency is a selling point of crypto—and also its original sin. Ordinary users shout every day that they want privacy, yet someone can still go digging through their own wallet addresses as they please, and they actually expect the project team to help you block regulation? Don’t be naive. When it comes to self-interest, a protocol will only choose what’s most beneficial to itself. I stand for cash flow, and for capturing value through transparency—privacy isn’t a fig leaf; it’s a tool. If you use it, you need to know the price. What I don’t regret is that I never treated fantasies about privacy as a belief.
