"Privacy is neces­sary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selec­tively reveal oneself to the world."

Hey there, my friend. I couldn't agree more with Eric Hughes' statements on the importance of privacy in today's electronic age.

Privacy is a fundamental human right that allows us to selectively choose what we share with others and to protect our personal information and innermost thoughts from prying eyes. In an increasingly digital world, our right to privacy can easily be eroded by hackers, government surveillance, and other nefarious actors seeking to exploit our vulnerability.

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin offer new opportunities for individuals to maintain greater degrees of personal privacy when transacting online. This level of privacy protects us from data tracking practices or unwanted surveillance that can reveal sensitive information about us without our consent.

In conclusion, protection of individuals' privacy through innovative technological solutions remains important if society desires true freedom for all its people.
