🛡️ Shielded Pools are coming to BitcoinSV BSV. It's a "shielded pool" (private pool) based on zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP). Deposit → private ZK payments → withdraw. The chain only sees aggregated rounds, never who paid whom. True privacy on Bitcoin shieldpool.net

Bitcoin is a world where every node is a flock camera. In Zcash over 70% are flock cameras. Monero $XMR - paradise. No surveillance whatsoever.
Zcash privacy is weak because it is optional. Over 70% of the ZEC blockchain is buttnaked. Monero $XMR is the privacy standard everyone should try to emulate. Don't aim to please the exchanges: they need to learn that true private by default cryptos were also built for compliance. Optional disclosure via view keys make compliance sense. Forced surveillance of the majority of your blockchain - as Zcash does - is total enabling of tyranny.

Bitcoin Core (BTC): $84,430 Bitcoin Cash (BCH): $337.98 Bitcoin SV (BSV): $21.19 All of these are implementations of Bitcoin. Only two of them are prepared for the AI agentic economy. Only one can scale to absorb the agentic economy right now.

Crypto bros after cashing out this cycle: Sell $10M of crypto. Disappear to some village in South America. Become the local chief. Own 7 goats, 15 chickens and 2 cows. Never open Dexscreener again. “Buenos días papi, ya está listo tu desayuno y café. Date prisa y ven a follarme.” Life completed.

All of this interest in shielded pools from BCH, ZEC, BSV, and BTC has left me appreciating the FOSS ethos spoused by the Monero monero:native community. Privacy protocols require a culture of skepticism which many of these networks lack. Peer review and strong adversarial analysis needs to be embraced before you jump up for joy for a new endeavor. You can't just trust devs when it comes to privacy. Privacy more than anything else needs to be peer reviewed and battle tested. Furthermore, implementations of privacy - even if similar to ones found elsewhere - must also be peer reviewed. The attitude of the BTC community shows us they did not learn much from the Coldcard fiasco: They still have the same cult like eco-chamber praising things before they undergo thorough audits.

The biggest take from this "news" is that BTC culture is still susceptible to Coldcard hysteria. No actual peer review took place before people got excited over this wp. There is no actual privacy on BTC L1. The wp is misleading.

BTC continually tries to sell off-chain L2s as L1 innovation. Sad that all of BTC scaling revolves around lying.
Replying to @allocinitxyz
So... this trusts a server for your balance and a bridge operator for your coins while Bitcoin's miners validate nothing... "trusted operator”… in other words, you trust another centralized second layer to get privacy on BTC… In my book... if it is not processed by miners - it is not Bitcoin L1
