Recently, someone talked about on-chain privacy, saying that "complete anonymity" is the only way to be truly decentralized. Frankly, ordinary users shouldn't have such expectations... On-chain stuff is inherently traceable; what you can do more is just not putting your ID on your address, and not using the same wallet for everything. Compliance isn't a one-size-fits-all; it's more about finding a non-self-destructive approach in the gray areas. When facing risk control, cooperate when needed—don't fantasize that "no one can control me on the chain."
Also, the social mining and fan token schemes—this idea of "attention as mining"—I find it pretty exhausting. It feels more like burning privacy as fuel: binding accounts, authorizations, posting updates every day for points, and in the end, data and wallets are all exposed. Anyway, I now prefer earning less, sleeping when I can, and missing out if I have to.
