      The data on the blockchain is not private.

      However data can be encrypted before it hits the blockchain and it can also be cryptographicly manipulated in ways that remain private.

        At it’s core the block chain encourages verification. doing extra steps to maintain privacy is not the same as system that is private. It’s like saying cell phones are private if you buy a burner phone with cash. Technically well but not by design.
