anonymity is not a goal, anonymity is a tool. What you said is exactly like saying your primal objective with woodworking is using a hammer. Doesn't make any sense.

"anonymity is not a goal, anonymity is a tool"
As expected, Bitcoin maxis always relativizing the natural right of privacy inherent to all humans
As expected, people with too much ego passive aggressively assuming that if you disagree with them you must be fit in some made up group they despise!
Sorry dude, you couldn't be more wrong with this "bitcoin maxis" thing :-D
I'm just trying to make a point: anonymity is a natural right to any human being, therefore half-privacy is contradictory. When Bob and Alice make a transaction there's no reason to an outsider entity (like a government agent) know about this transaction
I see your point but its more than that I think.
without private wealth you don't really *own* your assets. because they can be taken from you by force.
Privacy is a necessary condition of ownership in a hostile environment.
as Mr nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnszynhwden5te0wahhgtn4w3ux7tn0dejszxthwden5te0wdjkuerfwshxummnvekxzun99e3k7mgrcp7e2 has pointed out ad infinitum, no privacy, no wealth, no wealth no freedom.
So if *sovereignty* is the goal, privacy is a necessary prerequisite.
