Students coming through sharp on critiquing privacy with the open ledger. 

Lazycasting questions written on the tube after the seminar.

The other lecturer (I was guest) clocked the opsec risk off the bat. 

Businesses are a challenge, for sure!

In regards to consumers wanting provable digital ownership with (optional) privacy what’s the solution? Going elsewhere to ETH and the like? How does that fare with regulatory interest?

Public ledgers can not solve because even with clever wallet strategies, all it takes is one opsec misstep and nothing you do after the fact will help you. Businesses care a lot about privacy. Most cannot accept a public ledger that reveals any of their books. To solve for this, you have to make privacy the default.

Ty!

1. Do you know if they typically try to hide that they own certain wallets?

2. Not the selective that was in question. More the how it works. They liked the idea that, say, a PhD might want to work an admin job but get screened out if qualifications aren’t able to be hidden, as blockchains offer as standard.

Good questions!

For 1, I know ultra rich people have distributed assets across a few wallets and multiple ways of accessing them. 

For 2, I would say selective doesn’t matter. We all hide some parts of ourselves and what we put out is how people will perceive us.
