Great article. I looked into ARK when I was at Custodia too along with a lot of other early stage solutions, trying to find a way to introduce privacy into the banking system for discretionary spend. Basically impossible since regulators were freaked out about bitcoin until a few months ago, but worthy nonetheless.
The monetization side of my stuff could benefit from ARK but I haven’t heard too much about it recently.
I really liked how your article stays journalistic and lets the ideas breathe and speak of their own merit. Jealous of your ability to convey complex things in such a clear manner!
