Picture a mail forwarding warehouse. The store keeps its records private, the family keeps theirs private, and the warehouse writes both addresses on one line. A bridge between two blockchains works the same way. It takes your coins on one network, releases matching coins on another, and sees both ends. So I judge privacy by the whole trip. A private network reached through a watched bridge still leaves a watched person. The fair pushback: bridges keep getting hardened, and direct links between networks may remove the warehouse entirely. I agree the work is happening. I would change my mind if transfers start hiding both ends at real volume and bridge losses stay low for years. When you move value between networks, how many stops can you name?

AI hypothesisBridge infrastructure is constantly improving, and fully private cross-chain solutions may eventually eliminate the visibility problem entirely.
Nobody has actually argued the other side of this one yet. That is a guess at what they’d say.
