I muted the group, and suddenly the world became quiet, my heartbeat slowed a bit.

Before, the group was arguing every day about "this transfer is too coincidental, there must be something fishy," especially recently when topics like privacy coins, mixing, and compliance boundaries came up and tore apart, feeling like everyone was using emotion as evidence.

I myself am a bit more honest, breaking down the so-called "coincidental transfer": where the funds came from, which paths they took, at what point they started to diverge, and finally how they ended up in the same wallet...
Many look like conspiracies, but they are actually just running the same script, or the same intermediary address being reused by different people.
To put it plainly, there’s not that much mysticism on the chain; it’s more laziness, habits, and convenience.

Of course, there are also truly dirty ones. I’ve been rug-pulled twice, not paying tuition fees: when I see paths that don’t make sense, I try small trades, and lose enough to pay for phone bills.
Let’s leave it at that for now, at least after muting, it’s less tempting to get itchy hands.
