Just checked on-chain data again and saw someone using "privacy" as a stealth cloak... To be honest, on-chain is a public ledger, and what you can hide is mostly just making the path more complicated. If you really get targeted, once you pass the compliance threshold at the exchange, you'll still be linked together. I don't think ordinary users should have overly optimistic expectations: avoid mixing everyday transfers with unfamiliar addresses, minimize signature interactions, and keeping some "explainable" records can actually make you feel more secure. Recently, everyone’s been anxious about staking unlocks / token unlock calendars causing selling pressure, I understand that, but rather than guessing market sentiment, I’m more worried about some day my inexplicable interaction being flagged as a risk source... For now, I’d rather go through the trouble.
