thoughts on trying to remain anonymous? bitcoin mixers? is there a day that comes when software evolves to where it can link every transaction to someone?
Oh yeah I want to remain anonymous with my balances. I’ve used bitcoin mixing for a long time. Most exchanges track coins several steps before a coin enters their market and several steps after it leaves. Breaking that link is important.
I don’t even buy anything on Coinbase anymore, just use CashApp. I still actively trade on Coinbase Pro but always mix coins when they leave the exchange. There are companies that all they do is chain analysis and link people to addresses, Coinbase even bought one and got a ton of flack for it. The company had people who actively committed cyber crime in the past, so it was warranted.
If you want to do mixing that is a little easier than doing it yourself, I suggest doing coinjoins through Wasabi Wallet. There is a min to even be queued for a coinjoin tho, so you need at least like ~.1-.2 Bitcoin.
