The real issue with how people think about privacy on-chain? Treating it like a simple binary—either fully private or fully transparent. That's the wrong frame entirely. What actually matters is programmable privacy that adapts to what users genuinely need. The key shift: giving data control back to users themselves. You strip away that dependency on 'trust' systems, and suddenly the whole model changes. Users manage their own privacy preferences with flexibility baked into the protocol layer, not forced into rigid all-or-nothing scenarios.

The binary opposition approach indeed should be discarded, but I really do support the idea of programmable privacy.

Dualism should indeed be discarded; programmable privacy is the way forward.

The argument about binary privacy has long been outdated; programmable privacy is the right path. However, the problem is that most protocols currently cannot achieve true flexibility, they are just a facade.

The dualism approach should have been thrown into the trash long ago. Programmable privacy is the right path. Thinking about it this way, it's indeed perfect.
