Huh, is privacy making a comeback? Every time they say it will win back, but it's still the same old story. --- Honestly, regulatory pressure is the real stumbling block; technology has long been no problem. --- Another Ethereum researcher and sci-fi writer, what kind of interesting conversation can this configuration bring... --- 6pm UTC... it's that time again, Asians have to stay up late. --- Wait, is privacy really that important? Or are we over-hyping it ourselves? --- I just want to know why privacy coins have been on the fringe for so many years; the core issue hasn't been clearly explained. --- If you're not going, forget it. I've heard too many cringe-worthy speeches in these discussions. --- Eager to watch; it seems the real highlight is clarifying cultural issues. --- privacy × blockchain... two fields with problems, forcibly combined. --- Relying on a live stream to turn things around? That's a pretty optimistic idea.

Privacy technology will never win; regulation is the real counterfeit. --- Same old argument again, I've heard it a hundred times, what more can be said? --- Sci-fi authors talking about privacy? 🤔 Do they still have to make up stories? --- 6pm UTC, I’ll definitely be asleep. If someone finishes the live stream, please give a summary. --- The core issue is two words: money. Without money and an ecosystem, everything is nonsense. --- It probably will be another case of everyone talking past each other, and in the end, nothing gets resolved. --- Ethereum researcher talking about privacy? I’d love to hear that, but I guess they’ll still be hyping the ETH ecosystem. --- How to win back? First, get exchanges to support privacy coins, then we’ll talk.

ngl privacy in crypto is the one that's being suppressed... Will this discussion truly get to the core of the issue, or is it just another superficial roundtable show?

NGL, privacy is really the most awkward issue in crypto... Clearly very important but nobody uses it. --- It's that same set of "Let's talk about why privacy fails," honestly I've heard it a thousand times... If you have the ability, just make it happen. --- Wait, sci-fi authors are here too? Isn't this just turning technical issues into everyday life? Anyway, in the end, it still depends on whether the code can impress the market. --- The reasons why privacy lost have long been known... compliance, usability, liquidity—do we really have anything new to say? --- 6pm UTC, I'm just about to join... but I bet five bucks this is another ape trying to ride the trend; real builders have already been working underground. --- Haha, finally someone wants to discuss this directly... although I'm not very optimistic about the word "turnaround."

Is privacy technology always losing? Then I’ll go long on privacy coins in reverse—this time, it’s a sure thing. --- What big shot is discussing this? Basically, privacy has never had a selling point, and regulations are a heavy gate... --- Wait, a sci-fi author talking about privacy? That’s a pretty creative idea, much more interesting than reading a white paper by a tech geek. --- Can we really "win it back"? I think it’s unlikely unless regulatory winds change... --- I need to check at 6pm UTC. The reverse indicator tells me Privacy is about to explode, haha. --- Why have we been losing all along? It boils down to two words—regulation. Everything else is pointless. --- It’s interesting, but I’m not sure it can change the current situation. I’m skeptical. --- An old Ethereum researcher endorses this; it still has some potential. --- Privacy is forever the loser; no matter how hard the ecosystem tries, it can’t bypass compliance.
