Shielded $BTC is real and the @allocinitxyz team shipped something legit. Not just a proof of concept.
But let's be real:
@robin_linus is right to flag the cryptography as experimental. Plus, consensus isn't enforced by L1. It's an external layer reading Bitcoin L1 to build 2nd-layer consensus (same vibe as virtualchains from 2017).
Bitcoin maxis love "no L1 change" projects. But covenants on L1 would make shielded $BTC way easier to pull off.
L2s like Stacks can ship full privacy no problem because hardforks are normal. The real bottleneck? Trust-minimized bridges. Covenants fix that too.
Expect more privacy plays: @Glass_Coins, L2 shielded addresses (Stacks Satoshi Upgrade 3), etc.
Bottom line: If you want private $BTC, you need to support covenants. They unlock both L1 and L2 privacy at scale.
Most of you stay broke because you exit at the worst times.
Either ride the hype and dump into strength, or diamond hand until you actually hit life-changing money. Stop panic selling bottoms and being a bear when everyone's capitulating.
Pick a lane. Momentum trader or conviction holder. The middle ground is where portfolios go to die.
