Privacy isn't interesting. Privacy is needed. As I spent this week in Uruguay where you can do everything in cash (yes dollars or pesos) I noticed how I don't even have the right to privacy in Germany or Switzerland when it comes to finances anymore. We can get that back with blockchain and cryptography.
