The crypto market is just a tiny little baby, despite its explosive price growth over the past year. Only a fraction of a percent of the world population owns crypto, and even less people actually understand the technology and its future ramifications. As we go forward in time, and crypto gains more and more share, and governments and banks (same thing) try harder and harder to “regulate it”, privacy will move to the forefront of everyone’s concerns. Smart investors own all the privacy coins right now—monero, verge, pivx, cloak, and company, because they see this future as clear as day. I appreciate your post, bringing this issue to light for steemit, as the sooner they adopt a philosophy of privacy being a very top concern, the better.
