CBDC is same to to fiat in banks, it's a currency to destroy privacy.

Yeah the true privacy in crypto is dead, even though the US didn't declare mixer as illegal, but they want to get logs from the mixer. So, this mean the government don't mind people to use mixer, but they want to know the address and the coins are associated, which they claim to make sure the coins not being used for "illegal thing" like funding for Hamas and North Korea.

While privacy coins have been banned in few countries like South Korea and Australia.

OP, why do you have to create a topic and use your alts below to farm merits that is against the rules of the forum.

It is obvious and i hope others can see it.

no it’s not
it is inevitable that we would see more kyc or centralized versions of crypto projects because crypto is becoming more and more popular and mainstream but i don’t think it will be forever like this i have hope at least that at some point more people will value privacy and by how the internet is acting these days i think it will come sooner than we think

besides there are still those who are very discreet and private it just really depends on you true privacy in crypto is not dead if you willingly ignore those that require you to give up information practice privacy protection and privacy will never die

Sheesh. No wonder it seems like something centralized (dismissing its name) and not good potential-wise.

No, privacy on Bitcoin was already solved years ago with coinjoin transactions: https://mempool.space/tx/9c6479472e1f3b5861c86bc904d11814e715a84c21aa8d0dd0861e635555451f


Bitcoin is the only privacy coin you need. You can turn your Bitcoins completely anonymous with Wasabi Wallet.


The dollars in your bank account are a CBDC. The dollars in your Tether address are a CBDC. The dollars in your Cash App are a CBDC. The dollars in your Paypal are a CBDC.

The existence of CBDCs doesn't stop Bitcoin.

Privacy coins in crypto still exist nowadays, but I am sure they will all die, and are currently under pressure on the grounds of avoiding money laundering, so that several countries have banned them. Monero is really threatened to die, while Zcash still has the possibility to survive I think, because Zcash can still allow for transparency, while Monero is truly private.

Privacy in crypto is not dead yet, at least not completely; we still have the option of choosing to be completely anonymous or following a step to use crypto just like crypto and not like it should be used. Mind you, those who want privacy in crypto should avoid using centralised coins and still expect to remain in control; there is a serious fight against privacy, but that does not mean that privacy is dead.

The biggest threat to privacy is convincing the people that there is no point in remaining private; if everyone knows the importance of privacy, then government actions and attacks are just minor, as you can still find your way around in protecting yourself.

Mixers and their usage have been indirectly defined as money laundering tools. Monero is gradually getting delisted by some exchanges, as most don't even have it available and traded in their market, but they still have a chance as long as you know how to use them with complexly decentralised tools.

CBDC will only continue from where the fiat system stops if you are comfortable using fiat and the banking sector; then you will have no problem using CBDC because it will have the same stick rules detecting what you can use your fund for and how you can use it.

Regardless of what anyone else writes here, it cannot be denied that the transition from fierce centralization critics to rolling on the floor for them is qhite damning.

I am talking mainly about Ripple for which I recently scraped a thread from 10 years ago full of people hostile to it.

It turns out that opinions can be bought with money. In particular, 5x gains.

Any currency that becomes successful is inevitably going to have a lot of people who are not using it privately but quite the opposite.

The issue here is the potential elimination of all private means to use Bitcoin without touching regulation. If that happens, then everyone will use Monero because there would be no other private currency to turn to.
