Why are founders still sending on-chain payments like they’re handing out bank statements?

One USDC transfer = your entire financial life, exposed.

If your treasury is public, your strategy is public. Read that again.

• A freelancer got paid.
Looked up the sender’s wallet.
Then asked:
“Why do you have so much USDC sitting idle?”
One invoice. Full dox. No permission required.

• Transparency used to be crypto’s flex.
Today it’s the liability choking real adoption.
No serious company wants competitors reading their treasury like a live dashboard.

• This isn’t about “hiding.”
It’s about leverage.
If everyone can see your liquidity, your runway, your counterparties, you’re negotiating from zero.

• And yes - the rails already exist: Railgun. Zcash. Privacy pools. Shielded transfers.

But the industry is still LARPing “open ledgers” while bleeding strategic advantage on-chain.

If you’re scaling a token or moving 7–8 figures and still paying people from a traceable wallet…

That’s not decentralization.

That’s negligence.

Folks - be honest:
Is radical transparency dead?

Or are we still pretending privacy is optional because it’s inconvenient?
