The basis idea/premise and underlying tech is quite solid, but I am still not convinced of its use as a global currency of any kind as I really don’t want my transactions to be public 😅 – What if I want to buy my wife a expensive gift? if I did that on any cryptocurrency via its blockchain network (they all use a pubic blockchain AFAIK), then my wife could find out what I bought here. What a ruin to a good surprise 🙄 🤣
