[00:07 - 00:27] It's very much possible in private blockchains and also in public blockchains when you can split the money in multiple accounts and only use them once. And stealth adresses allow and require the sender to create random one-time addresses for every transaction on behalf of the recipient.
[00:28 - 00:51] The recipient can publish just one address yet have all of his/her incoming payments go to unique address on the blockchain where they cannot be linked to either the recipient's publish address or any other transaction's address.
