The government's power needs to be limited or eliminated to prevent abuses of authority.

To prevent selfies without my knowledge I cover the front camera of my phone with such a small round black sticker. If I need it, I'll remove the sticker and cover it again after use with a new sticker.

Top 5 Privacy Coins

CoinMarketCap (top) vs CoinGecko (bottom)

Yes, CoinMarketCap has ICP and WLD classified as privacy coins, although they operate transparent blockchains or scan biometric features such as the iris. For me, they are more like surveillance coins.

However, beginners and people who want to find out more about an unknown coin would do well to avoid CoinMarketCap and instead visit CoinGecko, whose classification of cryptocurrencies still makes sense.
