This is a very interesting read.
I've heard of these attacks before, but I never understood how a person could be threatened.

Extremizing: an exchange that offers you $ 30 to register, after KYC, is practically performing a dust attack. Except that in that case, using the chain analysis company you just bought, you can perform a very efficient tracking of your UTXOs. Do you think this is an impossible scenario? it already happened.

it already happened.

Do you have any references for this information? It would be interesting to read a little about this IRL attack.
Looking at it, this is a threat only to people who have a lot of accumulated coins.

I was referring to Coinbase.
Coinbase offered Wlecome Bonus to make sure you wanted to grab 30$ worth of Bitcoin, and do stupid things with those.
They also had the EARN proram, where they give you some obscure shitcoin for watching a few videos and then hope, again, you do stupid things with those coins.

Just remember:
Coinbase the most anti-Bitcoin organisation. Make #DeleteCoinbase great again
