[Analyst Darkfost: If Bitcoin L1 Implements Native Privacy Transactions, It May Impact Privacy Coins Like ZEC] CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost published an article stating that a recent paper explored the possibility of implementing privacy transactions on Bitcoin. The key feature is that it could be achieved directly on Bitcoin L1 without requiring a soft fork, making privacy transactions a native functionality. Darkfost mentioned that he is not a developer and lacks the relevant technical background, but finds this concept quite compelling. He believes this could be an important direction for Bitcoin's evolution in line with Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision, while potentially diminishing the appeal of privacy projects like Zcash and Monero.
