There’s no such thing as private on the internet. Sometime after the nineties everyone forgot that.
Cynicism is a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Do you need links to police cracking people crypto wallets. That’s about as secure as you’re going to get now and it’s still not enough. So what else have you got.
There is no such thing as a binary choice between "absolutely private" and "absolutely non-private".
This is not binary like this either. There are a TON of variables.
All depends on whom you want to be private against, as well as how much effort they want to put into getting your information. There is no "absolute privacy"... But there is "requiring more effort from the chosen adversary than you're worth".
You’re either connected or disconnected. There is no in between. All you can do is toggle between them and hope no one is paying attention.
No I’m not. Google up police cracking criminal crypto wallets. These kinds of responses are exactly why this question got asked.
