An inflection point for privacy rights
summary
Argues that financial and identity privacy sit at an inflection point as courts reconsider the third-party doctrine and new tech like Zcash and zero-knowledge proofs mature; describes Filecoin as an “Airbnb for file storage” that bakes civil liberties into hosting; cites Carpenter as precedent and a ZK-blinded cellular-network proof-of-concept that works but isn’t adopted because incumbents monetize location data; warns CBDCs and ISO digital ID standards risk mass surveillance and urges open wallet ecosystems and state laws with specific protections.
