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?

Maybe I’m jaded, but privacy is an illusion. We live in an increasingly surveilled world. By definition blockchains are public ledgers. Yes, cryptography can help, but I think anonymity isn’t realistic imo

Blockchains are not "by definition" public ledgers. "A blockchain is a distributed ledger with growing lists of records (blocks) that are securely linked together via cryptographic hashes."

Also, distributed ledgers are not "by definition" blockchains.
