Riccardo Spagni, who is also known as Fluffypony, recently had an interview for Monero Talk. While speaking about Tari and financial privacy, Fluffypony yet again, spoke about privacy.

Tari is a decentralized assets protocol which is going to be built on top of Monero, with its own native token. The protocol will function as a merged-mined sidechain, along with enabling atomic swaps for its native token and Monero.

In an interview, the co-founder of Tari, Naveen Jain, mentioned that the idea behind the project was to reimagine and re-envision how digital assets like concert tickets and game items were issued and managed.

Fluffypony was asked whether the factor that motivated him to work on Monero, is the same with Tari. He gave a positive response, adding that, he was still motivated by the fact that privacy should be a basic human right.

Fluffypony agreed to the fact that Tari is a Trojan Horse of privacy. He cited the example of Apple phone users. He said these people were probably not aware, or that they simply do not care that the facial recognition and object recognition system was done on the device, contrary to Android device users which is done on the cloud.

He added that, at some point, people are going to need privacy for their identities and then they are going to be grateful that they used the privacy-enhancing system. The kind of world where people are just suckered into the privacy-enhancing world is what Fluffypony says he wants to create.

This approach is really the way that would help to get more people on board. He mentioned that it is good for Monero if more normies are got on board to use it. He admitted that Monero’s privacy depends on there being a lot of people using it. So the more people get to use Monero, the better it is for the rest of the community, says Fluffypony.
