How can the government discover I own BTC, let's say I'm from Venezuela where crypto is banned, what they can do to discover and arrest me?
I do not think they can trace and arrest you because bitcoin is a decentralized platform, if you do not provide information or register to a platform with kyc, they will not be able to find you. |

If you are using only peer-to-peer ways to buy/sell bitcoin through TOR, you are safe, nothing to worry about. Just avoid showing yours connection to certain bitcoin wallet or IP address.

I don't think so due to most transactions in wallet address are anonymous may be the government can trace but its really hard as they need to communicate other agencies that can provide security details to trace transactions. |

It is hard for the government to trace that you bitcoin but if you encash it into fiat and you had transferred it to local exchanges that is registered legally in the country and then you transferred it to the bank modt probably the government might trace your identity that is based on my observation here in my country. |

If u are never reveal Ur identity then government never trace your bitcoin transactions because these transactions happen from one bitcoin address to another address and they are alphanumeric also buy bitcoins from Trusted sellers also government never trace from bitcoin address on blockchain. so always try to hide Ur identity and store Ur bitcoin in trezor hardware wallet.

The government can trace your wealth if they at least placed recorders on what websites do you use on the daily. They can actually know where you live by their sleuth like behaviors that can allow them to trace any one they wanted to be traced. At least we can say that the Government is not that interested yet with the people who are HODLing large amount of Bitcoin or even alternate coins. We just hope that they cooperate with civilians that has not interfere with their daily lives and jobs.

Bitcoin, the Internet currency beloved by computer scientists, libertarians, and criminals, is no longer invulnerable. As recently as 3 years ago, it seemed that anyone could buy or sell anything with Bitcoin and never be tracked, let alone busted if they broke the law. “It’s totally anonymous,” was how one commenter put it in Bitcoin's forums in June 2013. “The FBI does not have a prayer of a chance of finding out who is who.

posting transactions online is a good way to get caught, like donate to XX or can you check my wallet for me on a forum could end up being traced to who you are.

Bitcoin transaction is anonymous so you won't get caught, just dont let them know your bitcoin address or anything just deny the fact that you're into cryptocurrency then you're good to go.

Every government has it own methods to trace anyone but this is only happen when you show your identity on bitcoin which 99.9% of people don't put there identification on it so without identification is not show no one trace you.

Well, any person can easily trace a bitcoin address, and it is not something very difficult to do, so i think that it is more than easy to do if you have commited a crime or something related to that. So, a government can easily do it in a few minutes of work

We do not need government to trace our transactions because we have etherscan now that we can use
to see each transaction and we also have a history of seeing and withdrawing bitcoins.

I dont really know how you are going to be traced unless that you have someone close to you who has the idea of you engaging yourself in btc and then reports you to the authorities.

With the little knowledge I have I can say that there cant be anyway though but it depends on where you exchange it and how you do it. Those involved are the ones that can tell people what you are doing in the btc world.

I think it won't be easy because to track you cause it's anonymous and won't have record at all. if it's just banned then it's fine i think it's only ban for using in payment or buying goods

Bitcoin, the Internet global currency using by the computer scientists, libertarians, and criminals, is no longer invulnerable. Although bitcoin designed to protect privacy. It nonetheless generates abundant public data.FBI Investigators try to connect the transactions publicly recorded in the bitcoin blockchain but they didn't connect where FBI didn't trace them so that government can't trace them.

Same here, I don’t really know if government could trace if someone has a bitcoin; but in my guess, I think they cannot trace it, some of people are having an offline wallet so it is impossible to trace it at all. |
