lets keep it realy simple for a second.
FIAT sucks but electronic payments are here to stay.
so Satoshi comes and invents a form of electronic currency that isn't double spendable and gets its intrinsic value out of "precious numbers"
So is bitcoin to the numbers in you bank account what gold is to cash? not yet. one crucial charcteristic is still missing:
Privacy. untraceable transactions are the missing evolutionary step to make crypto the true electronic equivalent of precious metals.
but while trying to realise this one MUST NOT compromise any of Bitcoins accomplishments on the way.
Out of the many coins working on anonymity i only see ONE doing this by MY definition of what bitcoins idea of decentralisation is all about.
poeple think the Anon phase is over like its with the country or weed coins. but implementing privacy into a cryptocurrency is way more important than all those gimmicks. even chat functions , data storage and everything that also could be done on the blockchain comes second in line.
its the missing part of the puzzle to oppose fiat in electronic payments. this is the trillion dollar idea . nothing else.
Please no power grid debate here. i hold PM and if shit hits the fan that hard good look to all.
