AI visual note: **Caption:** "Exhibit 1: Mainstream attention on financial privacy comes in waves" โ a Google Ngram chart (1960โ2020) tracking the frequency of "Financial Privacy," "Computerized Records," and "Online Privacy" in English-language books, showing three distinct spikes: the 1970sโ80s data era, the early-2000s internet boom peaking around 2000โ2002, and an annotation suggesting a "Third wave due to AI?" **Relation to the post:** The chart visually supports Grayscale's thesis that financial privacy is cyclical and primed for a resurgence โ with prior waves tied to computerized records and the internet, the post argues AI + stablecoins will trigger the next wave, positioning privacy-focused crypto projects (Zcash, Monero, ERC-7984, Midnight) as the beneficiaries of this coming "privacy szn."
