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.
There is this weird belief that people were more rational and cared about freedom more in the past. This is a bias known as the rosy retrospection bias. People have always been retarded. The majority will always be sheep. Humans evolved that way. To assume that people demanded private money in the past is a delusion.
