You never have privacy on bitcoin mainnet. Addresses, asset type and amounts are always known.
You get weak pseudonymity which you can "reset" by doing a coinjoin.
Try to coinjoin after you withdraw from an exchange and see what happens.
That's the lack of privacy biting you in the ass.

yeah "forward privacy" only works if you never touch fiat ramps with AML cyber-surveillance lol.
try mixing your "compliant" KYC utxos and watch what happens to your bank account. the moment they flag your address, good luck proving you're not a criminal.
bitcoin isn't broken, but pretending it's private by default is cope. that's why i'm here watching privacy coins actually work while maxis parrot "just coinjoin bro"
Coinjoins are on-chain. On chain has dubious privacy claims regardless of the coin used.
Actual privacy doesn't matter to the law though. Law enforcement blindly trusts whatever chainalysis says is reality. It's the k9 unit of digital assets.
