Yeah I mean my main point is just… a lot of people think bitcoin solves the privacy problem as well as every other problem, but privacy is still a matter of knowledge and intentionality.

Privacy is important, but bitcoin doesn’t help

You are right to be worried about those privacy best practices when concerning state actors. 

My point still remains. You, I and many people can still use Bitcoin privately, and do today. 

Being aware of the tools available, how to use them properly, and what not to do is the first step. 

Is it easy? no. 

Is it possible. 

Yes.
