Recently, I keep seeing everyone shouting about privacy on the chain, but also fearing "compliance risks" if they're not careful. Honestly, ordinary users shouldn't expect complete anonymity and to do whatever they want. On-chain data is always there, and using new addresses or mixing/ privacy protocols might look clean in the short term, but exchanges, risk control, and even some front-end services can still flag or restrict you. In the end, the ones who suffer are usually themselves: unable to withdraw tokens, asked to explain the source, or having their accounts directly limited.
My current expectation is quite simple: privacy is more about "less exposure," not "disappearance." If you can separate wallets, do so; don’t mix your salary, DeFi activities, and social accounts under one address. If you really need to move fiat in and out, be honest—don’t think no one is watching on the chain. Recently, the countdowns for staking unlocks and various token unlock schedules have been repeatedly discussed with anxiety about selling pressure. But many big holders might not sell immediately; instead, once your address is exposed, followers might get scared off first... Anyway, I won’t go into that now. I’m still low-frequency, so I’ll decide whether to move after I wake up.
