Help us write Grin's Mission statement!

It needs to be so simple that I can say it to my mum and she gets it!

I get this. Grin needs to be easy to explain. Let’s make sure we are not carried away though. I am cross-posting my reply from a different thread.

Questioning Core Assumptions on Our Emissions Model

While this is a noble goal, I am wondering whether it contradicts the core tenets of this community. Does the average mom care about privacy or self-sovereignty nowadays? Probably not. We should get back to our mission statement and make it clear what is our end game here. I understand that we need to appeal to as many people as possible but Grin has certain utility (privacy which also implies fungibility), and people onboarding to Grin should be aware what they are signing up for.

EDIT: To be fair, I think we need to make it so easy to use Grin that, in the far future, people will not even need to care about privacy and self-sovereignty. I just think we are not there yet and we definitely need to identify what this community is adding on top of the status quo.
