Just now my phone popped up a red dot notification saying “Privacy enhancement has been enabled,” and I was stunned for a moment… To be honest, my expectations for on-chain privacy are now quite low: I just want to expose fewer points, but don’t expect to always hide in the fog. The chain is transparent, and the entry points (exchanges/fiat/large deposits and withdrawals) are all quite compliant; if you’re really targeted, the little “tricks” of ordinary people are basically not enough.

What I care more about are the boundaries: normal transfers, protecting asset associations, avoiding being monitored by bots—these count as “self-protection”; but once privacy is used as a shield to wash and shuffle, sooner or later you’ll get blocked, or even accidentally hurt. Just like recently with the inflation + studio + coin price spiral collapse in blockchain games, in the end, the unlucky ones are still retail investors… So now I’d rather make it a bit more troublesome, clarify the fund flow, split accounts, reduce permissions, leave traces where needed, take it slow, and just stick to this for now.
