Do you really think that on-chain “privacy” means no one can trace it?

Anyway, I’ve already set expectations lower: on-chain transparency is the default setting, and what people call “privacy” is more about making it harder for others to see and track you—not a disappearance spell. Ordinary people can only do three things: don’t hard-tie identity information and addresses together; don’t run everything on a single address (salary, earning, DeFi, NFTs—everything mixed together); and accept that once you enter and exit fiat on/off-ramps, the compliance side will still be able to see—so it’s not something that just goes away.

Recently, the AI Agent and automated trading wave has been pretty hot too. Those selling the narrative say “fully automatic, fully anonymous,” while the security-focused ones are researching whether the authorization signatures you grant them come with unlimited allowances, or whether routing has been tampered with or “snapped up.” In plain terms, the more you “spend” on privacy tools, the more you need to remember that compliance boundaries don’t vanish just because you flip a switch… I’d rather take one more step to confirm the authorization and the routing now, and have fewer dreams.
