Transcript Ep. 542: Could This Vitalik-Backed Protocol Bring Privacy to a Regulated Crypto World?

Jacob Illum:

My opinion is that everybody should have a right to use the blockchain in the way that they want. And if somebody wants to participate and get privacy where they don't mind providing some kind of association set with their withdrawals because it enables them to spend their coins maybe more freely, I think that's going to be something that's going to lead to greater adoption of blockchain. That's my ultimate goal is wider adoption.
