> I really don't see a world where bitcoin goes that route. Hiding coin amo=
unts would make it impossible to audit the blockchain and verify that there=
hasn't been inflation and the emission schedule is on schedule. It would i=
nherently remove unconditional soundness from bitcoin and replace it with c=
omputational soundness. Even if bitcoin did adopt it, it would keep backwar=
ds compatibility with old style addresses which could continue to use ordin=
als.
Nit: it isn't technically correct to say that amount hiding "inherently rem=
oves unconditional soundness". Such commitments can be either perfectly hid=
ing or perfectly binding; it isn't even logically possible for them to be b=
oth, sadly. But we are not forced to choose perfect binding; El Gamal commi=
tments, for example, are perfectly binding but only computationally hiding.
