Yeah, I think you're right about that. I suppose different people will make different calculations on the right tradeoff between those things and privacy. In some nations privacy may be more important than the strongest form of custody.

Although, if I understand it correctly, I think sidechains built on Drivechain could get you privacy without losing custody or decentralization. Do you think that tradeoffs are less with something like a Zcash Bitcoin sidechain instead of a fedimint?

With Monero you get privacy and keep all of those things. But it's tradeoff is the opaque auditability. I guess people just have to choose what they consider the lesser value attribute. Maybe we can't have it all, unfortunately.

Tbh, I don't know enough about drivechains to comment, but I know you at least lose final settlement. There is also interesting talk of bitcoin ZK-rollups.

Roll ups sound really interesting. Thanks for sharing. Here’s some info on Drivechain.
