WCP02 - Guy Corem & Alex Romanov - Why Privacy Matters!

There can be NO #Freedom without #PRIVACY. Especially in #Web3
Privacy is the basic ability to say "Mind your own Business". Whether this means closing your windows to your neighbors or obfuscating your blockchain transactions, I consider this to be a basic human right.
It's not enough to find a few bad actors that utilize privacy to launder money or perform other nefarious activities to go "See? This is why we can't allow you to have privacy".
Yes, I'm looking at you: Governments and Central Authorities.
Join us as we chat with Guy Corem and Alex Romanov about Privacy and how they are trying to provide a solution with Beam. We were trying to figure out why this topic is still being roughly ignored even after Edward Snowden's efforts to bring awareness to this issue.
My conclusion is that until now we have been made aware only of the "READ-MODE" of Private Data Mining. Meaning, we already know that most of the internet platforms we use on a daily basis are tracking our every moves to the point where their algorithms can determine which room in our house we spend the most time in or even how much time we spend on the toilet...
So far, the Killer App for Data Mining has been mainly Selling us Stuff.
But recently, we've been witnessing more and more cases of our Data being used to hinder our very ability to transact, see the Trucker's Protest in Canada, or what's going on in China for quite some time.
In all fairness, this was a concern of mine, but it had never become so acute in my awareness until I began to understand the power that the WEF, Central Banks, and Governments are about to unleash with the use of #CBDCs. Using the facade of "Convenience", "Efficiency" and "Sustainability", Governments are getting ready to enforce the evilest form of mass population control humanity has ever witnessed.
Central Authorities are increasingly willing to utilize #blockchain technology as a true weapon of mass submission, and we are falling willingly into this trap so long as they allow us to trade #Crypto and buy #NFTs.
Once #CDBDs are released, all other forms of money will most likely become Illegal, especially private-preserving currencies. It is up to all of us to opt out of their all-encompassing "You'll own nothing and be happy" system.
