Blockchain Transparency Makes Everyday Payments Impossible

Blockchains provide transparency by default - a feature for verification, but a flaw for payments.

For everyday use cases, transparency becomes a severe disadvantage:

• anyone can track your account balance

• merchants or observers can trace your past transactions

• analysts can deanonymize user clusters

• spending patterns become public forever

This is unacceptable for normal life.

No one wants their grocery purchases, hotel stays, or travel history to be publicly linkable on-chain.

Today, blockchain transparency prevents crypto from functioning as private digital cash.
