During rush hour on the subway, scanning on-chain data, the more I look, the more I think that the idea of "privacy" shouldn't be overly romanticized. The average user's expectation is probably: don't expose your address, income, and social relationships all at once to everyone, but also don't expect on-chain to be completely untraceable. Regarding compliance, frankly, platforms/entrances keep a close watch, especially once you need to deposit or withdraw funds, or exchange fiat currency, then many things have to be clearly explained.
Recently, there's been some complaints about miners/validators taking too much, MEV, and unfair ordering... I now lean more towards treating privacy as "reducing unnecessary exposure," rather than "being invisible." The same applies to positions; if it can be split, split it; if it can be signed less, sign less. I will do layered staking and yield, but I won't touch black-box solutions, to avoid ending up unable to explain where the money came from. Anyway, first clarify the boundaries and don't dig yourself into a hole.
