    Nothing what you wrote contradicts my original OP.

    You using crypto to buy your toilet paper is not a mass scale use case and it is irrelevant.

    You can of course be pedantic and say, well I buy toilet paper with crypto therefore what you’re saying is wrong.

    Way to go man!

      The need for privacy in crypto is significant and a hinderance to wide adoption. With most crypto if you send me money once I then know your wallet address and I can then look up every transaction you’ve ever made with that wallet and every future transaction you make later. Clearly that’s a problem.

      The fact that criminals are more motivated by privacy concerns doesn’t reduce the need and expectation of privacy for the rest of us.
