Bitcoin provides strong anonymity as long as you never tell anyone that wallet dcfb49fb16e688a46841c05b07b1ee40 is yours and never withdraw any money. "X is true if both Y and Z" is a UX problem waiting to happen. It's too subtle for people who check their smartphones every seven minutes, Y and/or Z will be lost in hearsay transmission.

- Arnt 9y agoIf you digress into talking about important distinctions using weird long words, people are especially likely to forget the Y&Z conditions. Did you mean pseudoanonymity or pseudonymity, BTW? I can see the case for either/both, but the MSB is that is something hinges on distinctions as subtle as that, then it's too complex for 2017's general audience. UX accident waiting to happen.
- kobeya 9y agoIt’s not a nitpicking point. Bitcoin doesn’t provide any anonymity at all. It explicitly breaks anonymity and great lengths have to be taken to recover it. Pseudonymity is a fundamentally different property.
