Recently, people have been asking whether on-chain privacy means "I can't be tracked from now on," and I want to pour some cold water: mixing on the chain is more like "reducing the probability of being seen through," not a disappearing act. Compliance is also very realistic; exchanges, fiat on/off ramps, and even some front-end services may ultimately pull people back into real-world identities. To put it simply, ordinary users should not expect to be completely anonymous and freely enter and exit mainstream channels at the same time—these two often conflict.



Lowering my expectations made me feel more relaxed: if privacy is needed, treat it as layered management—expose fewer associations, use isolated wallets/addresses more, and don't tie all assets and activities to a single "life account"; if compliance is needed, accept that it will leave traces, and don't deceive yourself. Recently, with the inflation + studio + coin price spiral in blockchain games collapsing, many people panicked and moved assets to cash out, only to realize that "wanting to stay hidden" but the exit points are all under surveillance cameras... Anyway, I now care more about risk boundaries; only put what I can bear on the chain, and don't treat luck as a strategy.
