In the last four years, the building in the Prague region, Eric Sirion stayed at his computer with a simple code and a simple mission: Buy a cup of coffee with Bitcoin.
The location was Parlelní polisDuring the year Hackers Congress – The appropriate amount of digital independence. This was not the first time Bitcoin was used to buy coffee, but this time it was different. After a few false start, the transaction passed, and the history was made. It was the initial purchasing using Cash in Bitcoin – directly, A shipwreck from the fegivint band ECASH Protocol, AUMIAN EXIGICANCE program built on top of Bitcoin.
Eric marked a minute with tweet, and what appears to be a little law – just a coffee – it was a great deal.
The spark wasolated.
Privacy Aidity
To understand the importance of the coffee, we must look back.
In the 1980s, David CUM introduces the idea of EASHA Digital Digital Money is automatically confidential for Cryptographic design. His company, Dijecash, over its time, but the basic idea endured: money that works as money – it cannot be accessible, and confidential.
Years later, HAL FINNEYThe receiver of the first Bitcoin transaction from Sathone and carrot, Bitcoin, but also its limits. You see the need for layers over bitcoin That can bring strong privacy protection, showing Cham’s view while making Bitcoin’s intensity.
When Eric Sirion purchased that coffee in Prague, he built this framework – with Cham’s ideas and Finney’s formation in the active protocol for ATO Bitcoin.
From cup of coffee to movement
During the following months, a Femint Protocol was released, and the development began, and the adoption began to spread. Shortly thereafter, another protocol – In – Apart, it provides one MTT model that offers simple setup and quick test. Fedimont, in contrast, empowering the intensity through the storage of the NCU-PARTY degree. Together, these methods have added gasoline to what has been a natural and inclusive natural natural.
Since then, many projects and divine projects aimed to measure the Bitcoin starting to check or use Advanced privacy Over the most difficult amount in the world you’ve ever seen. This shows growing recognition that increases the bitcoin without privacy leaving the greatest expertise.
- A good thing for the reward – a new measuring solution, breathing the concept of Zk coins – A program such as Ecash-it is like a reduction in confidence that continue to improve but promising.
- Rugged – Background 2 provides a way to measure a slightly identified transactions in the prescribed form in the morning, but it has been a confidentiality as one of its potential.
- Spark – The program uses Complaints Increasing Bitcoin’s Proction service Proction has just been accessible, and it has been committed to adding confidential skills as it appears.
New Chain items Terrified, COINSWAPbesides Silent Payments They also improve – making it difficult to track transactions and reduce address links without launching new trust models.
The seeing is not the same location led by any one protocol, but knowing something up across Bitcoin Ecosystem: Privacy cannot be selected. EASH, by its appearance and practical use cases, they were in the garden of this conversation. Its progress may be helped the influence or accelerating a wide interest, but at the end is part of a large push – combining many projects, on-chain and extinguish the BitCoin Privacy Policy.
“Without privacy, Bitcoin risk is in danger of enforcing and compelling. Privacy, becomes a way of life.”
Why is the secret more important than ever
This is not just a technical issue. The poles are real.
Around the world, EASH is already used by many others Disabled Communities – People living under authorities, activists, and journalists underway, families are just trying to move safely without employment or tested.
As the authorization increases worldwide, the need for confidential tools is growing stronger. Without privacy, Bitcoin risks are vulnerable to compulsion, surveillance, and abuse. Privacy, Bitcoin becomes a way of life: Giving power to everyone, and especially for those who need you the most.
Ezash Coffee Day: From the cuping telephone call
Last year, we in the Fedi started celebrating Ezash Coffee Day As a simple heart way to mark the third Memorial for the first bitcoin purchase. But today, it bears a deep meaning.
Ezash coffee day should not remember where we appear – we should work as Call the action. Anchor Day reminds us of an endless job. Until the Bitcoin is automatically confidential, to everyone, everywhere, our work is not done.
This day should remind us that privacy is not a supplement, not comfortable, not just a feature request. It is the freedom that is not discussed with freedom that is negotiable. And whether we reach the privacy of Bitcoin, EASH coffee should endure – reminds us, protecting, and ensures that it will never take off.
Therefore, let us write this reminder not only about the festival, but with the installation.
Commitment to building, funding, and supporting technology.
Commitment to ensuring that in the following four years, just seeing the tests, but difficulties.
Commitment to the vaccine that the ability to change secretly is the right one’s right.
Because it finally, it doesn’t just mean for the code, or protocols, or Bitcoin itself. It is about people – and their ability to live, prosperity, and freedom.
Four years in – Bitcoin Halving – The lesson for that coffee in Prague will not be clear: Private is important.
That is, commercial privacy – a good working person – is essential to Bitcoin for real success.
