Over the past couple of days, I’ve been looking at address profiling/tag clustering tools—basically, stitching a bunch of behaviors into “who you are.” You can reference them, but don’t believe them completely: for the same person’s wallets, a hired runner, scripts, or even when funds get routed around a few times, the tags start spouting nonsense… I use them at most to get the big picture of fund flow, but for the specific interaction paths, I still need to trace and verify the on-chain records myself. Otherwise, one time getting flagged by the witch is all it takes to ruin your life.

The group chat is also pretty split. On one side, people talk about privacy coins/mixers and say “protecting yourself is normal.” On the other, they worry that the compliance boundaries are getting narrower the more people discuss it. The vibe is a bit tense, but still restrained. Anyway, I stay low-key—if I can save gas, I save gas; if I can expose myself less, I expose myself less—and I don’t burn myself out to the point of getting banned.
