What's up with Ethereum?

Fox

Hi again,
I was browsing around regarding wallets and cryptocurrencies, and I noticed that in PrivacyTools, while there are specific sections for Monero and Bitcoin, there is no mention of any wallet for Ethereum.
I am quite new and unfamiliar with the world of cryptocurrencies, so excuse me if I ask some nonsense, but is there any specific reason why there is no wallet recommended for Ethereum? Is Ethereum not a reliable cryptocurrency or do their wallets not respect privacy in any way?

Fox is there any specific reason why there is no wallet recommended for Ethereum? Is Ethereum not a reliable cryptocurrency or do their wallets not respect privacy in any way?

I'm not entirely sure if there's a "privacy-first" ETH wallet. Any sort of offline/cold wallet can be used

Ethereum is not good for privacy.

To give an example:
When you pay with ethereum in a store, the shop owner knows how many dollars you have in your wallet. In addition, since shop owner learns your wallet address, he learns how many dollars you will send to which addresses (addresses anonymous) with that wallet address in the future.
For another example, if you send money to your friend via eth, he will be able to see the activities in your wallet and amount in your wallet since he learns your wallet address. Therefore, we cannot assume ethereum as a good cryptocurrency for privacy.

This is probably why monero is recommended here.

Bump on related topic.

If you "sign" something in mtaverse / vox for freebies/access etc, and they have your mtamsk wallet address, what sort of potential victimization can occur with such info?

As an example - Can they trace your mtamsk wallet address to opnsea? Then possibly steal/sell your nfts? Or use it to trace back to user's cefi/defi + other wallets? Thank you.
