These past couple of days, I've been staring at the funding rates until my eyes are dry, and I casually checked on on-chain privacy issues. To put it plainly, ordinary users shouldn't expect "complete anonymity," nor should they fear being "caught at any time"; the reality is more like: if you're just doing normal transfers and playing some DeFi, chances are no one will bother you, but once you start mixing coins, dealing with black addresses, or using strange bridges, the compliance side's expectation is "can track, can investigate, and may freeze."
Later I thought about it and found it quite funny—I used to think that just switching to a new wallet could wash away my traces...
My current expectation is simple: privacy is about reducing the chance of being watched, not a get-out-of-jail-free card; avoid using gray-area tools if you can, because on-chain records are even more permanent than chat logs. The same goes for economic collapses in on-chain games—when inflation kicks in, studios enter the scene, and coin prices spiral downward, the most transparent losses are ultimately those of retail investors.
Anyway, my night shift strategy is just one thing: don’t fight dirty traffic, if something looks off, pull out, and leave some room to sleep.
