It gets you coins banned by exchanges so merchants will charge you a premium for accepting tainted coins, or refuse your coins altogether

>Explain CoinJoin. you take N coins, and together sum up their value to produce M new coins.
List of N input coins by "address"(*) is known. List of M input coins by "address"(*) is known.
But it is not known which one of new coins comes "from" which one of old coins.
Therefore each new coin belongs to one of the old address, but to which one - no one knows.
Do that 3 times, and your 1 coin belongs to one of up to 1000 old coins, 10,000 old coins for 4 times etc (for 10-users coinjoins).
JoinPay or what ever it's called now, is similar but the input coins are not of same value, e.g. user A puts in 0.1 BTC and 0.7 BTC and takes out 0.8 BTC spread across his 5 addresses with 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.3 and 0.2 in them. Perhaps one of these addresses like 0.3 one is not even "his" anymore but he is btw making a payment to someone else.
All this makes it hard to track, and hard to be sure which transactions are "hidding" coins and which are "normal". Each multi-in multi-out transaction MIGHT "by the way" increase privacy. You can't ban all of them. That is why KYC jews are fucked.
It all works kinda like if you would take gold bars with serial numbers and smelt & re-cast them into new bars of various sizes, in a secret meeting between few people. Everyone comes out with same amount of gold. It is public knowledge which serial number bars were brought into the smelter and what are the new serial numbers for new bars, but all users coming with them are masked. (Tor does the masking, for example - as long as p2p communication to negotiate the coinjoin/joinpay transaction was in fact private, there is no information in blockchain at all that could point which of new coin/s is which of old coin/s)
(*) uh actually by UTXO number, which is more exact than address - past tx id + vout number in it)
>BANK RUN Useless because the Central Bank will simple loan as much paper money as necessary.
Have you slept with the global financial crisis? The whole bank run meme was completely eliminated. Since the global financial crisis central banks are allowed to simple activate the printer to make sure that a bank run is impossible.
btw, this doesn't mean inflation will happen. The paper money will simply be removed when people have trust in the banking system again and deposit their money.
You have no idea what the central banks are allowed to do in emergency situations after the global financial crisis. Yes, the central bank is even allowed to buy fucking company "promises" called quantitative easy.
This also doesn't increase inflation. Inflation (most likely expected inflation), nominal interest rate and real interest rate are three different things. Central banks already stopped giving a fuck about paper money supply and just regulate through their targeted interest rate.
Bank runs were a thing in the past where central banks were told to not change their behavior if banks need more cash. Now central banks are allowed to print money without restrictions if an emergency happens.

oh and that's just one approach.
LN clients that would be privacy oriented leave 0 trace onchain about your usage of that money.
Sidechains also can do anything they want, including exactly what Moner does, while still using Bitcoin as the currency, and while still benefiting from BTC's hashrate.
Monero was ok to get people fastly started on privacy. But ultimately Bitcoin will take over all of it, in a year, or decade (it's ok we are patient).
see + >but druggies do not use it! people are not always smart.
Monero started shouting about privacy early on, and tools that do it easily there were available early on. That's nice. Just know how situation really is and in what direction it changes

>Stapled on privacy cannot compete with L1 privacy. also, Bitcoin supports privacy since 2009. But wallets that automate it, like Wasabi wallet, are out only in last year(s). Btw avoid Samurai it is gay (they lied about their privacy, knowingly, about RPC security).
also, L2 privacy is ideal idea - there is literally 0 data onchain about your transactions.
Coinjoin to obscure on-chain L1 the fact that you at all have some BTC. LN privacy oriented wallets to totally remove from blockchain (never publish) at all ANY data about your transactions done with the funds you prepared in L1.
Even XMR is vulnerable to statistical attacks, BTC is wide open to someone with the resources and determination to track funds. Pseudonymity is great for social media, but shit vs a powerful state Fiat is still a practical necessity in life for almost all folks, whether they want it to be or not.
Jonathan Peterson
there is not a single technical thing you you have described in fact it looks more like marketing golem get ye gone
Ryder Sullivan
This is literally just what monero does on chain without the addition of monero's address obfuscation. If this is how CoinJoin truly works, it's just a shitty knockoff of XMR with even less privacy.
Using an L2 based service introduces additional systems that you have to trust and additional points of failure.
Also note that Wasabi doesn't keep you safe either, chain analysts are still able to track these transactions, as seen recently:
>Money Trail From Liquid Exchange Hack Points to Wasabi Privacy Wallets
>Although Wasabi is a non-custodial wallet that doesn’t store users’ funds, it generates addresses for CoinJoin transactions that blockchain analytics tools have learned to identify. Crypto sleuthing firm Elliptic did this last year, following bitcoin coming from the infamous Twitter hack to addresses associated with Wasabi.
>According to Crystal Blockchain, wallets associated with the Liquid hackers received some 1,168 BTC in total, most of which they got by swapping other cryptocurrencies for bitcoin on several exchanges.
>BTC is wide open to someone with the resources and determination to track funds besides using CoinJoin/JoinPay you also have to use your brain.
If you buy 158 BTC today, tomorrow "someone(s)" suddenly rush mixing of around 158 BTC, and 2 days later Free Euroasia got around 157.9 BTC worth of new gear with funds they somehow acquired, then yea you might get a visit from Ministry of Truth.

It does the job, you can't deanon that due to large privacy set. This makes XMR more and more not needed, and anything else is possible in BTC in future. So yeah.
