A most of people assume privacy is about hiding information.
I am starting to think it is actually about preserving decision quality.
Because once markets become transparent enough, something strange starts happening.
Your actions stop being just actions.
They become signals.
Signals become datasets.
Datasets eventually become prediction systems.
And slowly, your behavior starts creating value for people you have never met.
This isn't necessarily a flaw.
It may simply be what happens when markets become more competitive.
You can already see this happening.
A strategy works.
More people notice it.
More accounts copy it.
More models learn from it.
Then suddenly the edge disappears and everyone starts searching for the next one.
I used to think better information created better outcomes.
Now I'm not so sure.
Because information itself keeps becoming cheaper.
What feels scarce now is independent thinking.
That's why @geniusofficial caught my attention.
Not because privacy itself is new.
But because it raises a much bigger question:
If participants increasingly become data sources for other participants...
What exactly remains proprietary?
I suspect we're still underestimating how important this question becomes later.
