It is important for me too. But I place auditability above 100% privacy.

My idea is simple, you can keep a $1000 checking account and pay for things using that account. Your entire networth is hidden behind a mixer, your other activities that require privacy are hidden, and even this identity does not have to be fully traceable back to the physical you. You can probably change it time to time.

I think its very useful that some blockchains are public. It is also very useful that Monero is private. Pros and cons on both.

For the first time ever, you own your coins. If you don't link your purchase history to your social media or email, they can't sell you anything.

I always find people with contrarian views hella interesting. We are essentially forking a community into believe two different things.
