The author is a Bitcoin advocate/developer, but of course the argument wrt privacy would be as valid for Ethereum or other blockchains.

Keeping the Bitcoin maximalist ideas aside, I feel the core of the article still holds true.

Like you can have the exact same text and replace BTC with XMR and it is equally valid, if not more.
