Recently, I've seen a bunch of Layer 2 projects arguing over TPS, transaction fees, and subsidies, like a neighborhood committee arguing over property management... But honestly, the cheaper and faster it is, the more fragmented the on-chain traces become and the easier they are to piece together. Many people think that just using a new chain or changing an address makes them private, but I think don't set your expectations too high: a public ledger is inherently "default auditable," at most it just raises the cost a bit.
Compliance boundaries are also quite realistic, especially when it comes to deposits, withdrawals, and fiat channels, which ultimately have to conform to real-world rules. My approach is pretty cautious: try to leave as little on-chain footprint as possible, don't tie all assets, social accounts, and identities to a single address; as for the stories about being "completely anonymous," I just take them as jokes. As long as nodes stay online, I’ll keep taking naps.
