Privacy is what everybody needs when the government wants to control you like a jealous psychopath controls its partner. The VPN industry is a good example. 15 years ago, nobody cared about VPN. Now it is a extremely profitable multi billion dollar industry.

 If you want to make a asymmetric bet now, get some Monero while everybody is circle jerking about lightning privacy while using custodial wallets. 

 I agree. But I'll add that most people don't need VPN. I suppose some ISPs can cause trouble if you torrent. Private crypto is a lot more viable because of tax.
