Ali Yahya, a general partner at a16z, wrote that privacy will become the most important moat in the cryptocurrency space. Ali said that since secret information is difficult to migrate, the privacy feature is enough to distinguish the new chain from other chains and create an on-chain lock-in effect. When users are on a public blockchain, it is easy to transact with users on other chains, but on private blockchains, the chain of choice is more important because once they join a chain, users are less likely to risk exposing themselves and move to other chains.
Ali believes that this will create a winner-take-all situation, with a small number of privacy chains accounting for the majority of the cryptocurrency ecosystem as privacy is critical to most real-world use cases.
