Title: If you don't like a public blockchain, go private.
Post by: Dheeraj Kumar Singh on March 27, 2018, 08:13:31 AM
Private blockchains are not the answer to privacy or restricted access to information. In fact, you can argue private blockchains should not even be on the table as an option. Nonetheless, enterprise blockchains may fail to realize any of the inherent benefits of the blockchain technology and privately developed blockchains may lack the community and academic scrutiny that is necessary to ensure their properties.

He private key must remain secret at all times because revealing it to third parties is equivalent to giving them control over the bitcoins secured by that key. The private key must also be backed up and protected from accidental loss, because if it’s lost it cannot be recovered and the funds secured by it are forever lost.

Some people value their privacy and the fact that others cannot see where there funds are being moved to and from. Each to their own in that regard. I personally have no need and so little value but if people want it for themselves then let them be, it doesn't do us any harm.

End of the day, public and private, both are same. Said nobody ever.
I don't even know how you came to this conclusion but I will end this discussion with one point. On a private blockchain they can censor you, on a public one they can't. End of story, they are not one in the same you need to do some homework.
