Interesting take, I guess technically youre right by definition, but I think you know what I meant.
I can safely and privately use Bitcoin, to where no one other than me knows about it
If you'd rather use the word pseudonymous I can live with that.
But at the end of the day my statement remains.
It is not hard to use Bitcoin in a privacy focusing manner.
Just takes a bit of learning. Like anything in this world.
You never just start with the knowledge. You gotta learn.
Privacy is hidden content/actions, anonymity is hidden identity
I think both are pretty important because missing privacy leaks data that can be used to unravel your anonymity/psuedonymity over time (what addresses you interact with, amounts, timing, etc)
It's harder than ever now since Samourai and Wasabi are out of the game. And it's impractical to coinjoin every transaction anyway especially as fees climb.
If you don't coinjoin every transaction, aside from third parties, your counter parties will be able to see balances and see past history + follow you going forward. I'm sure people most wouldn't be comfortable with that even if you know the person.
