PS from @anonymint:
I agree that privacy would be nice if we never plan to exchange that cryptocurrency for anything in the tangible or centralized fiat world that governments can regulate. Bitcoin doesn’t have a fungibility problem on-chain. The fungibility issue is when exchanging into the regulated, tangible world.
But for Bitcoin, we will all be either kicked off by high txn fees or political persecution, and the uber wealthy don’t need to fear the governments, because they control the governments behind the curtain.
The lack of anonymity on Bitcoin is a designed feature:
To kick everyone but the uber wealthy global elite banksters off-chain
To force a separation between the black market and fiat-compliant BTC economies
