Recently, the community has been arguing again about privacy coins/mixing coins and whether they are considered "original sins." It’s making me a bit anxious... Frankly, my expectations for on-chain privacy are quite simple: it’s more like a raincoat, not an invisibility cloak. Normal transfers want to reduce the risk of being doxxed or tracked, which is a reasonable demand; but once you hit compliance boundaries, don’t expect tools to carry the load for you. On-chain records + exchange risk control + nodes/logs—when combined, they can still reveal a trail if someone wants to investigate. My approach is: when I see addresses related to mixing coins, I pause first, wait until the link is clean, and then decide whether to proceed—better to be cautious. Anyway, I don’t want “privacy freedom” to ultimately turn into “explanation freedom.”
