@allenf32 @gladstein For what it's worth, it wasn't aimed at him personally. It was used as an exemplar of a class of reaction that anybody commenting on crypto sees: anti- / maximalist reflexivity. Even where we disagree, I like Alex, find his work valuable, and wish him well. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheBlueMatt That came off sharply, which was unfair. Sorry. My point is "if you build it, they will come" is a lie. You have to build not only what people need, but what they want. And privacy happens to be both. Thanks again. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheBlueMatt I encourage you to make me look like an idiot. I will applaud you for it. Make the fixation on Lightning seem like a galaxy brain move instead of a colossal mistake by, for a start, getting the vast majority of transactions to happen there. — 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

@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 People have a tendency to view my criticisms are trash-canning the subject of it, but I don't want Bitcoin (or whatever) to go away: I want it to save the world. And it never will if we don't have the courage to admit where it isn't good enough. Thanks for the thought responses. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheBlueMatt ...role is to remind that devs need not simply care, but to care enough to risk solving (what I do recognize) is a very hard problem. I get the Segwit baggage, and I understand the arguments for conservative, incremental change. But a too-late solution is no solution at all. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheBlueMatt I think bitcoin devs care about privacy, but caring is merely prerequisite: necessary for a solution, but not a solution in itself. I have an public obligation to advocate that bitcoin has no greater problem than privacy. Other cares more about efficiency, tps, etc, so my... — PolitiTweet.org
