Recently, someone asked me again, "Is on-chain privacy really considered a violation?" To be honest, ordinary users shouldn't have too high expectations: a public chain is a public ledger. What you can do more of is "exposing less," not "disappearing." The line of compliance is also quite realistic; it doesn't matter what tools you use, what's important is your fund flow, counterparties, and purpose. If someone really wants to investigate, they can connect you through a series of transactions.

I used to think that just changing addresses and using mixers was safe, but later I realized many people overpaid, got front-run, and even made their transaction paths more conspicuous... Privacy and user experience often conflict. Especially recently, with on-chain games involving inflation, studio bots, and a spiral in coin prices, on-chain traces are clearer than anyone else’s. Don't expect "no one sees." My current expectation is very simple: don't do bad things, don't tie all your assets and identity to one address, understand routing and slippage first, and don't blame luck anymore.
