Does anyone else think that there's going to be huge demand for privacy-preserving Bitcoin services in the future?
I'm talking demand from non-ideological users that can enable 'privacy entrepreneurs' to make substantial profits.
User-friendly privacy is definitely a service on the market I'd pay for.
I think a big problem is the trade off between user friendlyness and privacy 🤔
The more privacy you want, the more responsibility you have to take on yourself -> the less "user friendly" it will be
This problem is what represents an opportunity for 'privacy entrepreneurs' to solve and make buck
Maybe like "extreme privacy" from Michael Bazzell, even though it is very specific and high target clients. But that's also being rather uncreative. If saschin you have like other ideas, would be glad to hear them 🙂
Zeus wallet, Coinjoin tools, LSP's are simple examples
Granted, they probably aren't that profitable right now, but I can see the addressable market for them getting bigger
OpenSecret definitely has a good tradeoff of UX/privacy
Yeah sure but I'm talking about Bitcoin-specific tools in particular
My pesimistic take is that it will be like with every other technology. That with wider adoption the market will get optimised for people who are more than happy to trade all their privacy for the tiniest convenience. Then bitcoin privacy tech will be a nieche market.
after this, you will have to be a tech ninja to be able to keep privacy, as most service providers will try to make terible decisions on your behalf and actively try to trick you into doxing yourlself
