Crucial point. "Digital cash" was dreamed up by academic cryptographers long before Bitcoin. It was a privacy-enhanced way to pay in dollars or euro, not a new currency. Many in crypto academia still don't get the idea of an independent currency & its very different requirements.https://twitter.com/waxwing__/status/1012221025503891456 …

With “blockchain analysis” tools ramping up, privacy is becoming completely subverted. “Immutable transparency” cannot be good. I’m curious to get your thoughts on whether privacy should occur on the settlement chain (e.g. Monero) or as a layer 2 solution (e.g. MW/grin)?
