Hi guys,
1.The addresses of the big guys like Vitalik, Roder and Satoshi are publicly known. Vitalik sent 30,000 ETH recently to an exchange. So we saw that. Can we also see what he bought there - another crypto or fiat or once he makes a trade all the traces are lost and we will have no idea where his money went?
2.Let's say he sells ETH and buys another ERC20 token. If he withdraws to a new ETH address, can we trace the transaction or no?
1 Where do you see it? But if the money goes to the exchange site and then it just like a mixer. because in the exchange site all of the funds will be mixed into a big amount. it will not traceable.
2 you can't because that means the ethereum move to another people and then it's still on the exchange site. Remember that's centralized exchange site and all of the funds mixed into a single form. And if he withdraws into the new address and then you can't do anything with it.
