Bitcoin is anonymous (ie your key is not linked to your identity) but not private (all your transactions can be seen)

- kzrdude 4y agoIt's somewhere between (not including) anonymous and multi-pseudonymous. Each address is a random pseudonym. A wallet is a collection of pseudonyms but it's secret that they belong together. Except network analysis can infer that some of them do. Pseudonyms are persistent, can't "change them", only transfer coins out of the pseudonym to a different one, i.e. log a transaction.
