RE: Bitcoin is 100% private
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
There is IP tracking. But frankly, even the top forensics investigative authority will have to go to great lengths to track the owner without any KYC. KYC is what gives all the clues and connects the coins with a name.
Without KYC it will be bloody hard to find anyone. Those arrested were not traced with on-chain analytic tools. They were arrested after reading their posts on forums and connecting clues outside of the blockchain.
But this may mean that one day there could be software that will be able to connect everything, even saved IPs, and find where these IPs were also used previously. With Tor and some VPNs, this can be so difficult that privacy could be considered perfect.
Unless of course, we send our identity to an exchange.
Bitcoin is not completely private but not traceable either.
