Any ASIC is useless in Monero and will ever be, thanks to RandomX. Monero is not 100% untraceable and will never be, nothing will ever be bulletproof, but Monero is actually too good for ChainAnalysis and co. If you don't do shit with opsec, it's close to impossible to link transactions with you. The actual threat is @IP. Simply running it's own node fix that. If you want to use an other network than Bitcoin network, ok do it, I will never do that, I think you understand what is the risk... the hard fork is just a cleaner way to upgrade, nothing to do with the supply. It's like removing windows10 and installing a fresh windows 11. It's more healthy.
