Privacy is becoming the defining narrative of our time. We're moving toward a future where different tools serve different needs—some for scale, some for protection, some for truth-telling. By 2026, mainstream awareness around privacy and digital freedom will shift dramatically. People will finally start grasping why it matters. And imagine a world where those who speak uncomfortable truths can do so safely—where whistleblowers and independent thinkers aren't silenced or disappeared. The real test: check whether your trusted voices in crypto and tech are still around. The ones actually pushing boundaries usually pay a price.
