Really think that once you're on the chain, you can be both private and casual with spending, and no one will monitor?

I now lower my expectations: on-chain defaults to "visible," privacy tools at most just mix you with others, not invisibility cloaks; compliance isn't something that suddenly drops from the sky, but when you deposit or withdraw funds, use major platforms, or encounter fiat channels, you'll be asked about the source.
After experiencing block reorgs, I have little interest in "faith," I only trust confirmation counts and boundary conditions.
Recently, everyone has been complaining about validator income, MEV, unfair ordering—basically, this on-chain order system is biased toward those who can front-run, and retail investors expecting the "system to hide everything for you" is a bit naive... My approach is: don't treat all addresses as one identity, wait a few confirmations for important transfers, minimize leaving traces where possible, but also don't expect to be completely trace-free. That's all for now.
