This is a massive exaggeration. I've spent a fair amount of crypto without trying to hide it, please tell me what on.
Maybe the state can find my addresses with a bit more effort than they can find my CC purchases but random people or friends and family not so much unless I want them to.
- zz865 5y ago> random people or friends and family not so much unless I want them to What I mean is if you ever send F&F money they'll see all your previous purchases too, and if OF is a well known wallet its easy for them to see that detail.
- hackinthebochs 5y agoMost wallets create new change addresses for every transaction which eliminates that sort of trivial transaction association.
- Tenoke 5y agoPresumably OF would use a ton of auto generated wallets which a random family member wouldn't easily connect to them and remotely savvy users will send money from their exchange to a separate wallet for either family or OF.
- CydeWeys 5y agoThere is no limit to the number of addresses you can have in Bitcoin. Best practice is to NEVER reuse an address. So this is all a lot harder than you're making it out to be. If I sent you some BTC right now, you wouldn't know what else I'd been up to with it, how much I have, which addresses are mine, etc.
- zz865 5y agoIf you never reuse an address that makes it easy to ignore those right? I'm not sure how it helps.
- redisman 5y agoThe issue is likely that if there are hacks and leaks of wallet addresses tied to personas from a exchange for example then someone can build a tree pretty easily off of that
- Tenoke 5y agoSure, and there can be leaks from OF or equifax or a payment processor showing your purchase, too.
