This. This is why I've said this so many times, in so many ways. Public ledgers are a mistake. They are the single greatest failing in crypto, and privacy should never be an opt in. Bring billions on chain? Attest to everything about your life, your location?

But, it’s also true that if nobody can see the bags, there would have been no FOMO and this entire crypto space would probably have never grown legs.⚖️☯️

Answering the question "where's the beef?"

Moreso that if none of the data was public, there never would have been much built in terms of products, since it's the ability to access this unruggable data/system that makes crypto work and allows users to permissionlessly build and allows composability. The right answer is probably some combination

Man. Dog. Van. Building sizzle.fi, surfing and playing disc golf

The right answer is permissionless systems, that let users grant, limit, and revoke permission. Composability does not require a public ledger.
