"What about "privacy by default"?
---------------------------------

I disagree with this framing.

YES, we want a high anonymity set. But NO, we do NOT want to achieve it via force -- by making it **mandatory**. That is a mistake. It will not work (at best, and it will backfire at worst).

The "t-address vs z-address" decision is comparable to a "Bitcoin vs Monero" decision or a "Venmo vs Bitcoin" decision. In the real world you can always opt-out. So the focus should not be on trapping people in the privacy world; it should be about making it as cheap as possible to visit there or dwell there.

There is nothing WRONG with "privacy by default". But it IS wrong to treat this as a final goal. Instead, the goal should be "privacy always availiable to people who want it". THAT goal DOES require a large-enough anonymity set (and it does require meta-privacy); but it does NOT require privacy-by-default"
