As users, do you feel secure with the use of blockchain to protect your privacy?

*Blockchain: decentralized digital ledger which records transactions worldwide. It is transparent (anyone can enter) and it does’t have a central authority (banks are central authorities). Within each chain of blocks there’s a transaction data, timestamp and cryptographic hash (unic fingerprint).

      Bitcoin software determines how much money you have by summing all of the historical transactions executed by your key (Wallets don’t actually exist on chain, they’re a construct presented to the user for ease of use). Chances are, all of that money was exchanged at some point from entities pressured by sovereign powers to know and record the identities of those they transacted with (KYC / Know Your Customer laws). Select parties, eg law enforcement or regulatory agencies, can absolutely know who very likely holds most wallets.

      You have a totally public wallet with your entire transaction history visible. If you mine fresh coins and never spend them, sure you have a defensible claim to some privacy - if you ever transact then you have no privacy.

      Any single transaction will tie your entire wallet history to your identity.

        Tell me you have no idea how bitcoin works without saying you have no idea how bitcoin works.

          Tell me you have no idea how bitcoin works without saying you have no idea how bitcoin works.

          I scoured this conversation for any proof of work, or crypto note, but I couldn’t even find coherence for self-consensus, the raft is adrift fated to never reach quorum.

            Nice. You can word masturbate all you want. Doesn’t change the fact that you’re wrong, demonstrably so, and so this just makes you look dumb to anyone who understands.

            You’re an absolute clown show 😂
