Hello World,

What?

I would love if Bitcoin developers would celebrate a 'Bitcoin Privacy week or month' once in an year. Not sure about the dates. Enthusiasm can be similar to Valentines week or Secret Santa week but Seriousness should be like Wikileaks or Human Rights Foundation.

Why?

I am not sure if we need reasons, charts, etc. to discuss privacy and make all users aware of things involved. People consider privacy issues as something that can be ignored, for me they are same as security issues and very important in network like Bitcoin. Most of the people may still ignore it considering the feedback on few issues related to privacy in past. Although we can still try and its a new day. Not giving up is what makes the difference in the end.

Also I would like to clarify, there are lot of positives and people that have contributed a lot to improve privacy in Bitcoin but they will never get similar appreciation as compared to few others because of different reasons which I don't want to discuss here and one of them is decentralization.  Don't want to mention names but there have been influencers in past who are followed by lot of people for their thoughts on privacy but a normal Bitcoin Core Contributor with less than 1000 followers and lot of work that improved privacy in Bitcoin is ignored.

This is a speech from an Indian web series which only people who know Hindi would understand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztBfQU41s-o

TL;DR: 
This guy was not allowed to talk about his product
He still argued that he cannot talk about the product but still talk about something in 5 minutes.
He says nobody cares about "What", they are interested in "Why"
He is scared and feels like a contestant in reality show in which he can't even perform.
Most important thing: Never give up
Mentors, Angel Investors etc. are external things that you don't control, what you can do is prove things with your work.
He couldn't sell his product so he sold himself.
I will keep trying to improve privacy or talk about it when I cannot code in few things. Request other developers to help.
How?

Share 1 issue from repository of any Bitcoin project related to privacy and your thoughts.
Share 1 pull request
Share anything else that you think may help improve things related to privacy
Mailing list or Twitter or something else? I am not sure.

Is this off topic? If yes, apologize and maybe request same people on other channels.
