In the past couple of days, I’ve seen L2s competing with each other over TPS, transaction fees, and subsidies—fighting like delivery workers at a food order stand for who gets the job… Honestly, what I care about more is how privacy and compliance actually “block” ordinary people. To put it bluntly, don’t expect “absolute invisibility” on-chain. What you can do is leave fewer unnecessary traces: use separate addresses, don’t keep binding your identity information and your wallet together, and don’t randomly click through bridge and DApp authorizations. And don’t fool yourself about compliance, either—if an exchange asks you for KYC, you have to provide it, and no matter how much you spend on on-chain tools, it can’t stop you from getting past that entry gate. My expectations are simple: keep a low profile if you can, and don’t be surprised if they check. Oh, and what I fear most isn’t slowness—slowness can still be managed and even turned into a cost with queues, but if things get chaotic, it’s easy to make mistakes: wrong authorizations, wrong chain bridges, and then it’s nothing but pitfalls.
