Lately, I've been discussing privacy and compliance boundaries on the blockchain again. Honestly, I stopped having any illusions about "complete invisibility" a long time ago. The data on the chain is too transparent; if you're targeted, anonymity is more about delaying exposure than disappearing entirely. I think ordinary users should lower their expectations: privacy tools can block outsiders, but they can't stop those with resources; compliance won't ignore small transactions forever just because they're small.

Recently, hardware wallets are out of stock everywhere, and phishing links are everywhere... In times like these, what I care more about are the "signals": who can follow procedures to revoke permissions when a project encounters issues, who dares to publicly review the incident, and whether emergency plans can truly be implemented. It's okay to be a bit slow; at least, let's not be educated again.
