I have. While it's probably great for beginners, it can also be intimidating due to its operational complexity. Mistakes aren't a question of 'if' but 'when.' No matter how strict your OPSEC, human error, oversight, or unforeseen circumstances will eventually compromise privacy. The goal isn't perfection—it's about minimizing risks, accepting imperfection, and preparing for mitigation when mistakes occur. Total anonymity is an illusion; the focus should be on making tracking as difficult as possible.
For some, this trade-off is acceptable, but for me, it feels like a burden. Ultimately, people will always prioritize convenience over security.
One day, if Bitcoin is worth $1M or even $10M, you might want to buy something significant—like a villa, yacht, or car. Inevitably, questions about the source of your funds will arise. Personally, I don't have a solid explanation for such situations, and I doubt I ever will, which is why I chose to take the fully transparent route. If you’re confident you can satisfy your tax office about the origins of your income, more power to you.
