Lately I've been thinking about on-chain privacy. To be honest, don't take "anonymity" as the default setting... Wallet addresses without names don't mean no one can figure out who you are, especially once you involve exchanges, deposits, withdrawals, and KYC, the compliance line suddenly becomes very clear. For ordinary users, I think expectations should be lowered: don't reveal too much information in daily transfers, completely avoiding traceability is basically unrealistic, and there's no need to bother so much that it affects your life.

The recent fuss over NFT royalties also seems to follow this logic: creators want sustainable income, while the market desires more free liquidity. In the end, it's often the platform/protocol that compromises between "compliance + user experience," leaving users caught in the middle, looking confused.

The simple step I personally am willing to take more often is quite straightforward: wait an extra minute before transferring, do a small test transfer first, and double-check the address. Better to be slow and avoid pitfalls; if I miss out, so be it. Anyway, I prefer to sleep more.
