The most remarkable element all crypto encryption blockchain privacy advocates always ignore is that your ISP is not your friend. Never has been and we know they allow man in the middle by agencies. Yet the hype is, data is anon from A to B. No, data is you, ISP, packeted thru server farms, ISP, them. "But its encrypted before it leaves." Uh huh, then how does it know WHERE TO GO??!!.
LOL what?! Did you just recommend Cloudflare and VPNs as solutions? Cloudflare, that in the last 8 years began blocking and censoring websites? VPNs, which all provably announce sourced IPs?
As you know blockchain is not anonymous, every transaction is traced and present forever.
When you wallet is tied to you, not only your transactions but who you transacted with.
CBDC is the totalitarian dream. "No, you can't transact with that wallet"

well while that's true for the default setup one can use a number of methods to avoid this
run your own dns resolver and only query the tld root servers
use DNS over HTTPS from providers like Cloudflare
use DNS via TLS from providers like Cloudflare
Use a VPN provider for your DNS queries e.g. ProtonVPN DNS
Use Tor
Use Tailscale
Use a VPN provider

No, I just gave them as examples as an alternative to your ISP which is what you were talking about.
I would suggest it is a suitable alternative especially for non-US residents who live in regimes with DNS level blocking at the ISP such as the UK.
