Saylor just dropped a controversial take during his chat with Zcash's co-founder—claiming Bitcoin shouldn't chase complete privacy features. This sparked immediate pushback from privacy advocates who argue that fungibility and anonymity are fundamental rights, not optional upgrades. The debate highlights a growing rift: should BTC prioritize regulatory acceptance or preserve its cypherpunk roots? With institutional money pouring in, this philosophical clash isn't going away anytime soon.

Saylor is indeed siding with the institutions a bit here... But when you say fungibility is a basic right, can these two concepts really be equated?

Saylor's logic is really absurd, making it seem like Bitcoin is just a tool for CEXs. If it loses fungibility, how can it still be called BTC?

Saylor is really endorsing Bitcoin in a reverse way. When institutional money comes in, do we have to compromise? Then what's the point of wanting privacy?

Saylor has really been brainwashed by institutional capital. Privacy has never been optional, bro.

Saylor is at it again, what’s he pretending for? Does he really think institutional daddy’s money can rewrite Bitcoin’s DNA? That’s hilarious.
