One of the inherent values of cryptocurrency is that transactions are publicized and verified across the network, thus making it very difficult--or even impossible--to compromise. However, with this key benefit comes two significant downfalls of this system: the transaction amounts are public and the addresses (owners) are easily decoded. How does this affect the potential uses of cryptocurrency if it were to be adopted by mainstream?

Join Benedikt Bunz as he analyzes some of the key issues with keeping crypto transactions private and presents an optimistic solution.
