These days, I've been discussing whether on-chain privacy really counts as "avoiding regulation." My own expectation is: don't expect to be completely anonymous on public blockchains; at most, you can make the path more complicated. If someone really wants to trace, they can still piece it together. Compliance isn't a one-size-fits-all; often it depends on your source of funds, the tools you use, and whether you drag others down with you... To put it plainly, ordinary people should avoid gray-area entry points and do less cross-chain transactions they don't understand.

I see complexity as the enemy, so my current principle is: if you can finish a task in the fewest steps, don't take an extra one—separate addresses, tighten permissions, slow down signature pop-ups to read carefully. Recently, the expectations of rate cuts, the US dollar index, and risk assets rising and falling together have caused some noise again. When emotions run high, it's easier to slip up, and don't treat privacy tools as talismans; there's truly no shortcut to security.
