🔒 Bitcoin Privacy in 2026 - What Actually Works
Most privacy guides are outdated. Here's what works NOW:
1. CoinJoin is still king
- Wasabi Wallet 2.0 auto-CoinJoin
- JoinMarket for makers (earn fees!)
2. Lightning is underrated for privacy
- Payments don't leave on-chain traces
- Use multiple nodes/wallets
- Trampoline routing adds hops
3. PayJoin (P2EP)
- Looks like normal tx on-chain
- BTCPay Server supports it natively
- Breaks common input heuristic
4. Avoid:
- KYC exchanges (use Bisq/RoboSats)
- Address reuse (use HD wallets)
- Consolidated UTXOs from different sources
5. Nuclear option: CoinSwap
- Teleport transactions coming
- Makes chain analysis impossible
The #1 mistake: Using a KYC exchange and then trying to add privacy after.
Start private. Stay private.
