good balanced discussion. more privacy would be great, but at this point in Bitcoin global adoption , I think hard fork is a deal breaker. I think Bitcoin apps can do a better job at using the privacy options we do have as a default.

Loved the discussion about the various trade-offs of Bitcoin in terms of fungability and privacy as well as the difference between Monero and Bitcoin. Seth's point that if a tool doesn't offer privacy by default most users won't opt in to be more private was very thought provoking. Secret chats in Telegram is a great example of that.

well said, Seth. ngu isn't inherently bad, but ngu worship at all costs is bad
