These days, there's been another heated debate in the group about whether extreme funding rates are a reversal or just bubbles being squeezed further.
I think this issue is very similar to "privacy": everyone wants a clear answer, but the reality is gray.
On-chain privacy tools are indeed satisfying to use, but the compliance line isn't something you can just flip a switch to cut cleanly; in other words, it looks at the path, counterparties, and explanation costs.
I thought I was just erasing some traces on the chain, but when it really comes to withdrawing funds or moving off-chain, the platform still asks for the full story...
At that moment, I realized: ordinary users shouldn't expect "complete invisibility," but rather not to turn themselves into high-risk profiles.
Anyway, my current expectation is very low: minimize exposure as much as possible, but always be prepared to explain clearly if questioned—don't expect it to be a one-time fix.
That's all for now.
