According to @1HowardWu, privacy is essential because users would not broadcast bank statements or personal transactions, and decentralization matters because it prevents any single entity from censoring, freezing, or controlling transactions, reinforcing the core investment thesis for censorship-resistant networks such as BTC and ETH. Source: @1HowardWu. For trading, this underscores prioritizing assets whose primary utilities are privacy and non-custodial, censorship-resistant settlement, including privacy coins like XMR and ZEC and decentralized base layers like BTC and ETH, when constructing narrative-driven watchlists and assessing product–market fit. Source: @1HowardWu. Traders can operationalize this by monitoring liquidity, exchange listings, jurisdictional restrictions, and on-chain usage for protocols emphasizing privacy and decentralization, and by adjusting risk for regulatory headlines that directly affect the availability and control-resistance of these assets across spot and derivatives markets.
