Silent Payments offers me no assertion of fungibility. It is marginally better than not having it, but it is still too little too late, and missing the core issue: a basic property of money has never been privacy. It’s always been fungibility. Privacy is probably (but not certainly) a side effect of actual fungible currency. You can always spend or exchange a dollar freely. But that doesn’t hold true for Bitcoin, and Silent Payments does not address that.
