I’ve been privacy pilled. Lately reading a lot about
@Zcash and just learning about its origin. The video below is an interesting deep dive into the history of privacy in digital currencies and how
$ZEC was born, everything told by
@zooko.
Since then I stumbled upon
@SunscreenTech which have an extremely good and easy to use framework (SPE) to develop FHE web2 and web3 apps in seconds. Also, ended up contributing to the raise of
@UmbraPrivacy. In my opinion, the ecosystem or protocol does not matter, we need privacy, any research or advance is important no matter where it comes from, we must keep everything open source and with good intentions to keep accelerating.
I really think privacy is a must in the digital age and verifiability with privacy is an extremely important aspect for the future. From businesses being able to do transactions privately to avoid having industry secrets leaked or being tracked by competition to inviduals being able to spend their money without surveillance.
Privacy is a must for the future and for the adoption of blockchain, to keep empowering users and keep their freedom.
Thanks to
@AndyGuzmanEth for the conversations we’ve had and made me realize even more how important privacy is.
