CZ Drops a Hard Truth: Why You’re Not Getting Paid in $BTC
CZ recently pointed out a major issue holding Bitcoin back as everyday money: lack of privacy.
Yes, blockchain is trustless and transparent.
But for companies? That transparency can become a liability.
If salaries were paid fully on-chain, anyone could see:
• The CEO’s compensation
• Employee bonuses
• Vendor payments
• Treasury movements
For institutions, that’s not a feature it’s a risk.
Concerns include:
Competitors tracking cash flow and strategy
Publicly visible wealth increasing “wrench attack” risks
AI scraping on-chain data to build detailed financial profiles
As adoption grows, so does the demand for privacy layers that protect sensitive data while staying compliant.
If Bitcoin is to become a true medium of exchange, privacy infrastructure may be the missing piece.
So here’s the real question:
Would you be comfortable with everyone seeing your full transaction history or is privacy the key narrative for 2026?
