Edward Snowden @Snowden

@TheBlueMatt Public speaking is hard, but my intended point was not opaque: neither Taproot nor Lightning come even *close* to addressing Bitcoin's privacy problems -- and in fact even provoke arguments for how they hurt it (at least short term). That's not to say they're worthless... — PolitiTweet.org

@danheld @TheBlueMatt Others have shown ways to deal with this. For example, voluntary opt-out of tx privacy for those who want to show an audit trail. Turnstiles to reveal counterfeiting bugs ("has supply been increased through exploits?"), etc. Privacy doesn't demand sacrificing ancillary features. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheBlueMatt ...but they're not addressing the high severity problem confronting the ordinary bitcoin users who don't even notice fancysig faffery exists (beyond eventually reduced tx sizes). The thing is, I want to be wrong. But proving me wrong doesn't happen on Twitter. It happens on-chain — PolitiTweet.org
