I constantly hear talk about Bitcoin not being completely anonymous, but it seems like these ransomware attacks are always requesting Bitcoin. How are they managing the Bitcoin so it's untraceable?

Are any of those exchanges based out of the USA? And do any of them not allow USA based customers? My concern is if I made a great trade at 100x and then go to transfer bitcoin and they freeze my account saying I need to provide proof of re

The crazy thing is that Apple not only gets a 30% cut of app revenue, but the development work comes at essentially no cost to them. Would be interesting if a bunch of powerful app makers banded together and threatened to pull their apps. I
