Bitcoin privacy in 2026 any safe options left?

Been reading about what happened with Samourai Wallet and the Tornado Cash devs. Feels like even attempting to improve privacy can get you flagged these days.

I picked up some BTC on Kraken recently as part of a longer term move, but honestly, privacy was a big part of why I got into crypto in the first place.

Is there any actual way to handle Bitcoin privately without stepping into a legal gray area? Not looking for anything extreme, just basic financial privacy. Curious where others here are landing on this.
