Government institutions including FBI will not check your wallet for no reason. They will probably have to have some suspicion that you are performing illegal activities or laundering money.
But in general today is very hard to keep your data anonimous because exchangers and wallet have obligation to report the data to governments if they ask if they want to keep their business legitimate.

I do agree! So fbi could check you wallet anytime so meaning we are not anonymous at all the can track us our transactions over bitcoin. Well at first i know that bitcoin is not really anonymous of what they said. But it is also safe and no need to worry if you haven't done any thing that could break laws then you are good

Remember the guy who was caught because the FBI traced his transactions. The guy they said ran the silk road, Ross Ulbricht. What they did was to trace his transactions and they were able to find him. I think, since he ran an illegal site, he did use mixers and tumblers. So I think if the FBI wants to really know who you are there is a great chance they will. Especially when a person cashes out their funds to fiat. That would definitely give you away.

You know what the government also considers to be a heavy crime? It's tax evasion.

While you are just hodling coins without thinking about declaring your coins to the IRS, you are without realizing it yourself evading tax.

If they spot some sort of suspicious activity with you and your bank account, then it will ring some alarms where they eventually will force whatever service to hand over user information.

It's a nasty method, but is a more than realistic scenario as we have seen with Coinbase. They don't have much to say. They must hand over all the information the IRS is asking for.

BSV is not the real Bcash. Bcash is the real Bcash.
