summary
Nine years after the NSA revelations, encryption is widely deployed for content but metadata exposure remains the core unresolved leak, letting observers map associations and movement. Revealed participation in the 2016 Zcash ceremony under the pseudonym John Doberton as a safeguard for zero-knowledge proofs, and explains why that trusted setup was later retired. Praises Signal and Monero, argues Bitcoin needs privacy layers (Lightning and sidechains available), and warns CBDCs are dangerous if centrally controlled.
