Another concern I’ve been pondering — What if authorities go after anyone who bought from a KYC exchange, and the mixed their UTXOs via Wasabi, Whirlpool, or JoinMarket?

My understanding is that collaborative txns are easy to spot on-chain. And if that is made illegal, people could be in trouble for the sole act of mixing, even if the sats themselves can’t be tracked post-mix.

The Roman Sterlingov + Bitcoin Fog case comes to mind. Also the tornado cash case in ETH world.

What can we do to make collaborative txns look the same as any other txn?

I think all bitcoiners should brace themselves mentally for this possibility on a very personal level. The assumption must be that no-one will be there for you if this happens. The principles of privacy and self-sovereignty are meaningful enough to go to prison for if push comes to shove.
