Recently, people keep asking if on-chain privacy is an "enemy of compliance." I think ordinary users should lower their expectations first: on-chain is not anonymous; it's more like a "public but hard-to-read ledger." Once you get involved with exchanges, fiat currency, and KYC, the number of traceable links only increases. Privacy can be understood, but don't expect it to block all traceability, especially when you reuse addresses everywhere or randomly sign transactions.
AI agents and automated trading are also quite amusing. Some hype it up as if they've hired a quantitative nanny, but in reality, many are just using your wallet as an API, making the security boundaries even thinner. Thinking about it later, it's pretty funny—people shout "privacy and freedom" while granting permissions that are infinitely large and still find pop-up prompts annoying. Anyway, my current approach is: minimize interactions whenever possible, keep permissions as small as possible, and follow clear compliance paths. Don't rely on "tools" to erase behavioral traces. That's all for now. Time for a tea.
