RE: Your Bitcoin is NOT Anonymous: IRS Moves To Track Bitcoiners With New Chain Analysis Tools

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Well, anyone can track the transactions. But how can they associate a transaction with the person? That's the whole point.

Sort:  

For registration in coinbase for example you make a photo of your driver license, maybe according that picture.

That's correct, but misses the point. CoinBase is a gate. It's the intersection between Fiatland and Cryptoland. Of course they'd be able to track that. But how would they track an offline generated wallet?
Or if you buy them on LocalBitCoins?

There's a rule to be followed, when using BitCoin:
"Your private key - your BitCoins. Not your private key - not your BitCoins."

More on how to protect BitCoins from governments and other thieves are written down here.
