I find a striking dichotomy between your = concern of increased privacy in bitcoin and your link to a bitcoin mixer = in your signature www.go-overt.com

At first your = concerns seemed genuine but after seeing your promotion of a bitcoin = mixer I'm thinking your concerns may be more profit motivated? I can't = tell since you failed to disclose your relationship with the = mixer.

Could you please clarify your association = with the bitcoin mixer and moving forward could you please always do = proper disclosure any time you're publically talking about bitcoin = transaction privacy. It's only fair to do so as to not mislead people in = an attempt to manipulate at worst and just a courteous practice at = best.

Cheers

I = have good news for you: Taproot does not enable monero-like privacy = features any moreso than already exist in Bitcoin today. At its core, = taproot is a way to make transactions with embedded smart contracts less = expensive, done so in a manner that may marginally improve privacy = dependent on user behavior (but not in the monero-like way you mention). = For example, it makes it possible for lightning channels to look = structurally similar to single key wallets, but it does nothing = inherently to obfuscate the transaction graph as in monero. =

 

Suc= h "monero-like" transaction graph obfuscation may already = exist in Bitcoin via other techniques (coinjoin, payjoin, coinswap, = lightning, etc) with or without Taproot, so the point is further moot. =

 

Do = you have a source on your reporting?
