There have been previous conversations between he and I friend.

If he didnt care about privacy at all, I wouldn't live rent free in his head 😜

The fact is

there is no wealth without privacy.

if they know you have it, it is possible to confiscate it. Otherwise you are just trusting the legal system.

People who actually NEED strong censorship resistance already use monero.

Its also used more than LN for payments anywhere both are accepted.

if "nobody cares" its because you're in an echo chamber and trust the system to protect your private property.
