Last night, I was scrolling through the group again and saw a bunch of people arguing about privacy coins, mixing coins—whether they count as "original sins" or not. Some say not touching them is like kneeling; others say if you use them, your account will eventually get hacked... Anyway, the argument ended without a conclusion. I personally feel quite numb about it. The more these debates tear people apart, the more attention is paid to labels, forgetting what chain you're actually using and who you're handing your money to.
To put it simply, don’t be scared by terms like "data availability / ordering / finality." Focus on one main thread: can the record of your transaction be independently verified by others, can someone insert themselves into the transaction order casually, and will what you think is confirmed actually be rolled back? Whether it's privacy or compliance, in the end, it boils down to whether you're willing to bear the risks of "unverifiable / can be front-run / can be reversed." I still follow my usual rules: multi-signature cold wallets, tighten permissions, trust fewer people if possible—just start with that.
