Food for thought. The tainted coin scenario has been explained a lot over the years, but it's worth reminding people of the tradeoff (or detriment) of transparency. I think Bitcoin needs upgrades, despite all of the reactionary maxis who want to hold the protocol hostage
"Transparent blockchains, by their very nature, are incompatible with sound money. Fungibility is fragile and cannot survive without privacy. Digital assets that aren’t private by default become tools of control, putting our freedoms at risk. In a world where traceable digital payments are becoming the norm, private digital cash stands as a vital bulwark against the state."
