Privacy? That's basically a luxury item now. Most people have zero clue how exposed they really are—data brokers, ISPs logging everything, your apps tracking every move. It's wild how centralized systems just hoover up information with zero friction. This is exactly why decentralized tech and privacy-focused blockchains matter. When you control your own keys and run transactions on anonymous networks, suddenly the surveillance economy loses its grip. Not saying it's a silver bullet, but at least you get a fighting chance at actual privacy instead of betting everything on some company's privacy policy that changes every quarter.
