Privacy is a fundament right that needs to be fought for.
Decred's opt-in privacy reminds me of the way an octopus can protect itself from attackers by choosing to blend in its environment, a well thought out protection system.

For its privacy system Decred developers decided to take a mixnet approach, where they have integrated the mixnet with Decred’s Proof-of-Stake (“PoS/ticket”) governance system. Giving the mixing output / anonymity set a significant boost in volume, with over 60% of it's supply locked in staking.

Decred's stakeshuffle style privacy system (coinshuffle++) is integrated into its governance ticket system.
Participants of the governance system constantly buy tickets time-locking their coins in the process, all those constant transactions gives decred stakeshuffle system a much higher anonymity set then most other coinjoin style systems in the market.
