I have a feeling that at some point there will be another war between Bitcoiners on the scale of the block size war. These will be the two sides:
1. Add the bips to improve Bitcoin’s privacy. Institutional investors and some centralized exchanges will nope out and send the Bitcoin price spiraling in the near term but it’s worth it to fix the one glaring issue that prevents Bitcoin from being used as private investment and cash.
2. Bitcoin doesn’t need that level of privacy on the base layer. If you want privacy go to layer 2 ecash mints or swap for Monero or Zcash on Bisq and do your dark web stuff there. We can’t lose the suits or risk the inevitable bans by govt.
