I can’t seem to find an actual currency estimate of how much privacy is actually worth. I see a ton of articles talking about why privacy should be worth more to people or what people would pay for privacy services or how much people would sell their privacy for, but I don’t see anything that gives a value for the privacy industrial complex, so to speak. Like if you take every company and non-profit and everything else and throw it all together, how much is the privacy industry actually worth?
Edit: It’s worth at least $2.8 billion US dollars because that is the market cap on average of the privacy-focused cryptocurrency Monero.
Edit 2: If you put Monero, Zcash, and Dash together, you come up with $3.4 billion US dollars.
Edit 3: All the above plus Signal, Proton and EFF bring it up to 3.5 billion.
