"privacy" isn't a cypherpunk "narrative"

it is the normal thing

we can just call private chains normal chains

and everything else "transparent chains"

seeing each other's tx history / balances / spying on counterparties is the version that needs explanation or "narrative"

Really, all of cypherpunk / free software / ... is just trying to preserve boundaries that were unquestioned in the year 1900.

* Your device serves you, not some gov or corp overlord
* You can repair and modify your device to better serve you
* Your private conversations are private
* Your private money is private

so true! it's like we've forgotten how much control we actually used to have over our own stuff. it's crazy to think that these basic rights are now something we have to fight for again. tech is supposed to empower us, not turn us into product. let's keep pushing for more freedom and privacy!
