Decentralization cuts down trust assumptions, yet here's the catch: if your OS has vulnerabilities, privacy collapses at the system layer before the application ever gets compromised. That's the real weak link most miss.

Privacy isn't just picking the right protocol. It demands three things—owning genuinely secure hardware, staying aware of attack vectors, and making deliberate operational choices daily. Skip any one, and the whole setup falls apart.

The tech stack matters, absolutely. But so does the human element behind it.
