I agree that BTC has terrible privacy. But this is a BTC problem, not a Bitcoin problem. A smart Bitcoin wallet would not reuse addresses across transactions, and would split your coins into many fragments, making them virtually impossible to trace. But to do this you need low fees and therefore big blocks - what BSV and BCH are doing. Several wallets on BSV already do this today, like HandCash (https://handcash.io https://handcash.io), and the user experience is fantastic.
- sneak 5y agoIn case anyone reading this is as confused as I was: there is a schism in the cryptocurrency world where two forks of bitcoin, known as BCH and BSV, both still claiming to be bitcoin-but-not-that-other-bitcoin (BTC, the token meant by 99.9% of people who say "bitcoin"), have decided that their pope is the only authentic one.
- SnowProblem 5y agoClose. Bitcoin is a concept for a system - described in a whitepaper and in forum posts, and expressed in an initial release. BTC would prefer you think they alone are Bitcoin, but is the Catholic Church alone Christianity? Certainly not. BTC, BCH, and BSV are all implementations of that idea, each with various degrees of similarity to the original Bitcoin, and each of which share a history back to the genesis block. Interestingly, when you dive in, you'll see that BTC is the one that has diverged the furthest from the project's original goals and protocol, not the so-called "forks" BCH and BSV, which were both created from not wanting to change protocol rules. This is good reading if this viewpoint is new: https://thatsbtcnotbitcoin.com https://thatsbtcnotbitcoin.com
