I buy my food in a local store that accepts Bitcoin as a means of payment. As my income comes from the signature campaign, my deposit address is public in this forum, and I don't want the owner of the store to know my virtual identity, I have been using Wasabi for a long time.
It would be interesting to know what kind of payment processor that store you shop at uses? I doubt they keep the crypto or self-host the service through BTCPay Server. Maybe one day those less trustworthy payment processors might consider employing a blockchain analysis company to inform them what coins are "dirty" and "tainted". It would be unfortunate if your BTC was confiscated and you had to do KYC for something like that because they decided that Wasabi is for criminals.
You do want to hide something-- and that's okay. Privacy is exactly that; hiding information from entities you disapprove of. I don't understand why "trying to hide" is negatively interpreted.
Because
they have given
themselves the right to investigate everything and ask questions of everyone that's different. You know, to protect the people. If you disapprove, you are an enemy of the State that needs to be prosecuted. Or perhaps you are a terrorist, criminal, or child molester trying to hide his nasty habits. This is not me speaking, btw.
