## Quote — verbatim

> I think it's only time that will eventually make privacy a lot more valuable. You see something like Signal — Signal is a great privacy messenger, but it's also a messenger, right? The value proposition is just not purely privacy, but it's private messages... we can build applications that have privacy as a core primitive and build value on top of that.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Preceded at [04:46:17] by "even my mom is concerned about Facebook prying on us... the infringement of privacy is becoming a lot more mainstream." Forecast: privacy succeeds as a secondary/embedded value in products, not a standalone pitch.
