Privacy has existed on the protocol level for Bitcoin since day 1. Run your own node. The only people who don't have privacy with Bitcoin are the ones who aren't running Bitcoin. Running Bitcoin = Running your own node. Now with platforms like start9, you can get a full Bitcoin Core node behind tor out of the box after a few clicks. There are no excuses. The fact that you gave up your ID to a KYC exchange or used a samourai node or any other node thats not yours is not Bitcoin's fault. Its yours. If you use the internet without a condom (vpn/tor), you are going to get sick (rekt)!. If you give your xpubs to third parties, youre going to get rekt! Bitcoin in perfect money. It only takes you to fuck it up.

there are other ways to doxx your utxos besides an exchange, the protocol is not great in this aspect
You’re confusing privacy with anonymity. Totally different beasts. Bitcoin isn’t anonymous so it’s not perfect money. Great SoV though. We know many of Satoshi’s addresses, transactions and blocks he mined. So you’re saying he fucked up real bad? Umbrel does IBD over tor and it’s free and one line of code on pretty much any piece of junk hardware with enough storage. Why is Start9 such a revelation to people with a $1300 price tag for prism hardware and spec isn’t that good.
