Privacy issues are becoming the hottest topic of discussion in the crypto ecosystem, and this is not unfounded.

More and more people realize that their digital footprints are vast, permanently stored, and fully exposed—something that has never happened before.

But the problem is that there are obvious cognitive blind spots in the privacy narrative.

Most people's focus remains on the surface:

• Visible data layer

Oops, still talking about privacy again... No one really wants to solve the core problem. Actually, everyone is just pretending to care, then continuing to ape in. It's just surface-level talk; who dares to touch the deeper issues? Another round of anxiety marketing. I bet 5 bucks that no one will remember in two weeks. Blockchain privacy has been hyped for so many years, but it's just the same old story with a different name. Honestly, the cognitive blind spot is just a blind spot; there's no solution. Even those who claim to be "privacy advocates" still have transparent wallets. They talk sweetly, but how many are really using Monero? Discussing privacy these days is itself quite ironic... It turns out everyone knows the problem but doesn't want to pay the price to solve it. Cognitive blind spot? Nonexistent. It's just collective pretending to be blind.

Bro, to be honest, no one really understands on-chain privacy On the surface, they shout about privacy, but then they still throw everything on the chain Honestly, most people don't realize their data has been exposed long ago Privacy seems to always stay just words The most outrageous part is the permanent data storage; you can't delete it even if you want to later

Uh, but who can really ensure privacy with on-chain data? It's all public ledgers. Talking about privacy nicely, but isn't it just because they're afraid of being exposed? The key is that most people don't even realize they've already been seen through. It feels like the discussion keeps circling around the same points, nothing new. Blockchain itself is transparent; what privacy are we talking about? It's a bit ironic. Surface-level privacy still exposes the deeper issues. I think that's the real problem. A big discussion on privacy, but there are only a few dApps that truly achieve it.

Damn, it sounds nice, but most people haven't even checked their own on-chain interaction records.

Bro, on-chain privacy sounds nice in theory, but in reality most people only care whether their wallet addresses get exposed. No one really wants to face the real issue. The more we discuss privacy, the more exposed we become. What do you think? Surface-level articles are common, but the real killer is the deep cognitive blind spots. By the way, who really cares about privacy? Anyway, my on-chain operations have long been scraped and exposed. Privacy narratives are popular, but no one has really thought about how to truly protect themselves. Everyone is just waiting for technological salvation. This perspective is interesting. Most discussions only stay at the data level; no one dares to touch the deeper stuff. Everyone talks about wanting privacy, but then they jump around on the main chain—total contradiction.
