“The issue of bitcoin’s lack of privacy has been raised as a key concern that may affect its adoption as a central bank digital currency by state nations. In the latest episode of the ‘All-In Podcast,’ venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya presented his contrarian take for 2026, stating that central banks will realize both gold and bitcoin have limitations, and will seek out a ‘completely new cryptographic paradigm.’ This new paradigm will be controlled by the central bank’s balance sheet and will be ‘fungible, tradable, and completely secure and private.'” [editor’s note: The LAST thing central banks want is secure/private currency. That would limit the ability of the regimes linked to the central banks to steal it from us and monitor our use of it – TLK] (01/12/26)
