Many of us do so on a daily basis, don't act like it isn't possible just because it's hard. Privacy was always hard, and the more digital the future becomes, the difficulty level of maintaining sufficient privacy rises exponentially. This is a problem of the digital age and not isolated to bitcoin.

Meanwhile Monerobros are feeling superior while celebrating their cake honeypot and sending xmr to twitter accounts. 🤣

Oh did I mention the monero acc on twitter is literally ran by a guy who also runs a chain analysis firm? SurprisedPikachu.jpg

Maybe scoop in front of your own doors before complaining about someone else's doorstep being dirty?

Cake is an open source software, that enables privacy tools for multiple cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, while they do primarily focus on Monero they are an essential tool for helping new users learn how The Self-Custody Bitcoin ecosystem works.

I am going to assume you're talking about Justin Ehrenhofer, many (including myself) criticized him rightly so for running his Moonstone Research company, he did reduce his roles within the Monero community as a result of the criticism, he also stated that any information gained from his firm would be shared to Monero Research Labs to help develop countermeasures.

Justin is a very intelligent individual, and while I can't attest to why he started Moonstone, it's fair to assume from what I've read he did so in order to help Monero form a legal compliance infrastructure.

Justin has contributed A Lot to the Cryptocurrency world (Bitcoin too).

Bird pay utilizes twitter's API's to enable users to transact more easily while still maintaining the privacy of the Monero network.

The Monero protocol itself still protects users after funds are recieved.

If you can't see why birdpay is a terrible terrible terrible idea, I have no time to convince you.

In the worst case it only allows Twitter to see whenever someone accessed the api.

But you're also considering that most monero users are anonymous, and use VPNs, or Tor.

So really it doesn't tie any particular transaction to a person.

It could tie information to the block the transactions was in potentially but without poisoned outputs, they couldn't guess the output result.

This is no different than zaps, or posting your Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency addresses publicly.

I don't think it's that easy, unfortunately.
