Yep, TOR is not secure.

The other thing not mentioned enough is how insecure blockchain is.

I wish people would emphasize this more. Bitcoin isn't anonymous, and with the legal requirements for reporting transactions, much of what happens on there can be corellated to real-world identities. Far as privacy goes, it's probably a step backwards even from bank accounts and credit cards since there's no warrant needed to access it.

Bitcoin is old and stagnant, the future is full anonymity in the form of zk-snarks, used by millions.

ZCash is barely used, the shielded transactions even less so. Monero is the way forward.

What's an example of a zk-snark, assuming they exist today, and what millions use them?
