 My normie "friends" question as to why I want privacy.

"What are you doing that requires that much privacy?"

"I don't do anything illegal, so I don't care if they track everything"

They don't get it, while I'm understanding counter-economics and Bitcoin. 
 Ask them to look on their phone.

They will then show you they care about privacy 
 I like to ask them to imagine a society where everyone knew how much money everyone else got paid with full transparency.  Normie brains can't handle that kind of thought experiment 🤣

 Data has value. I don't like giving corporations free stuff to profit off of.
