Demand for privacy money was near 100% before transaction methods like cheques and credit cards. For all history before that transactions were completed with cash or coins. Only I'm the last 50 years have we been subjected to surveilled money and only in the past 15 have we been subjected to publically surveilled money with Bitcoin.

Money was physical so it was private. Don’t conflate that physical reality with demand for privacy. Disingenuous or delusional, you let me know which one you are.
I'm neither. Digital private money exists its called Monero. You can have both that's why people like me are so excited about Monero and other privacy projects like Ethereum Railgun, Litecoin MWEB, Samurai Wallet, etc. You can get that level of privacy in Bitcoin too, it just requires extreme caution, and a high level of study of chainalysis and network level deanonymization.
