If you’re referring to privacy tech such as mixers I think there is still solutions out there such as Railgun. Tornado cash smart contract is still functional as far as I understand even if particular nationals are prohibited to use it. In general, I would say that the Ethereum community is privacy aware of course it remains a transparent ledger.

I am referring to the funding of common goods. How does ethereum differentiate itself from bitcoin in this claim?

I’m not saying it does although smart contracts certainly can facilitate it but you were asking me about the ideology. I don’t here a lot of #bitcoin talks around common goods but maybe I missed something.

I know OpenSats is a thing. I don't know if you would qualify that as a common good. They use a multisig to vote on where the funds go. No need for a smart contract though.

I’m not familiar with OpenSats but it looks like they promote the funding of common goods.
