ZKs, bulletproofs etc are going to be working their way into btc and eth in the next year or two and i would expect to be ported to competitors. it will be impossible to prevent strong anonymity in transactions on any of the major chains in short order. even LND offers very good privacy advantages.
Yeah, that's totally cool. I'm doubtful that something like this will ever make it into Bitcoin but I'm really hopeful for what Ethereum could achieve in the long term. If these solutions prove to be better, I hope Monero will adopt them as well.
yes, i didn't mean this in a way that was dismissive of monero, only trying to convey my excitement about privacy tech becoming an intrinsic part of crypto as a whole
I didn't read it as dismissive. It's totally exciting to see privacy technology spread all over the cryptocurrency space. I think this should be the default.
Monero is pretty amazing but I've read some fair criticisms of it's privacy guarantees. New technology is always good and we'll get to see first hand which one is better.
