I’ll never understand why some people try to mislead less technical users with lies like this, discouraging them from using tech that protects them.
Here’s the reality: someone received Bitcoin to the same address twice. While address reuse should be avoided, if I choose to send to your address twice, there’s nothing you can do to stop it—that’s just how Bitcoin works. In this case, I reused your address, not you. Now you have a problem: how can you unlink those two UTXOs that share the same address?
Fortunately, there’s a solution. CoinJoin can break that link and restore your privacy.
That’s exactly what happened in this transaction: someone in that situation was finally able to break the link between two of their UTXOs. (Here’s the address: bc1q6ym9rn724d5ny5xgzepxj6ngnh939e9atjq8g4)
