We don’t live in the age of information. We live in the age of consciousness. Information is everywhere. Awareness is what’s missing.

“We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place.” Eric Hughes A Cypherpunk's Manifesto (1993)

People don't suddenly become aware of the importance of privacy. They're simply greedy.

If you want to use crypto as digital cash, the first question to ask is: is it fungible?
