The Philippines just banned privacy coins. Translation: they banned property rights. Every peso loses half its value to inflation and they call it policy; a coin that keeps your savings out of a politician's hands is called a crime. Markets don't need permission — they need property. Privacy is the ledger entry no bureaucrat can seize. Ban the coin, and capital simply migrates. The state never wins this war; it just raises the toll. Full stop.
