the government can't catch you because you have some bitcoin, unless you commit a crime, even though in your country bitcoin is not legal but that is no reason to arrest someone unless you violate the law in your country. I think having bitcoin is not a crime

Bitcoin is decentralized and there is no way possible to track your transactions / info and is easy for the government, but if they hack you, it is a violation of privacy. and you must use VPN and not use the original address. in that way you are safer and more energetic, you have to use a very good and safe VPN ...

The government can track BTC owners through KYC because at KYC we are asked to state your identity and photos clearly, besides that through government exchanges can also track BTC owners.
But in countries that Bitcoin or the usage of crypto currencies are banned how will people do KYC? lol. They will not track people with KYC bro they'll use a different method of tracking people from their country. But people can make peer to peer transactions easily. In this way, identities won't be disclosed. The owners of wallets are always unknown. Even if you withdraw your coins from an exchange to your personal wallet, it doesn't mean you are the owner of that wallet. You might pay to another person.
Even without KYC "Know Your Customer" thing, governments can still track a person if he/she is using crypto currencies by data traffic, with this method they can track what website do you browse on your computer or on your mobile devices and if they tracked that you are browsing a wallet website or you are downloading a desktop wallet they might probably detect you that you are using crypto currencies. The government can do anything if they want to because they got all the funds that they needed if they want to trace certain people that are doing illegal activities in their respective countries. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Well this was true i have never seen that government trace for someone that had been trace on the person who own bitcoin and who are behind that cause you can have the security by your own to made for so how is this possible to be.? Well it may depends on you on how are you going to be more careful on.

Without Making any transaction online I dont think that is possible, most online transactions with bitcoin i.e an exchange will ask you to do kyc and that is one of the way government find out about you when they trace it.

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 don't think this is possible because everybody can use proxy servers and all kinds of anonymizers, so eventually nobody would not know that this is you, I'm thinking that it is possible to be involved.

Government can't know if you have Bitcoin or not because your details are not reveals to anyone. This is one of the reason many government of different countries are against it.

Banks will start to work with crypto. So they will require KYC verification for opening a bank account with crypto. So.. they will track your adress easy.

I think no one can trace you have BTC or other cryptocurrencies. If you keep secret your wallets then police can't arrest you if they check your smartphone too. So, I think you should keep secret your crypto software, you may use incognito mode of a browser, make your browser cookies clear too. Always be careful about it.

no they can't all transaction are anonymous that's why it's a good thing to be decentralized. the only way they can track you is if you put your information in any site like using kyc. But i think banned means it's only prohibited to use it not to hold or have any of crypto

You have no right to be punished, if you are punished because you have bitcoin, then you should ask them, "If I have bitcoin, what is the negative impact on this country (venezuela)? surely they will be confused. Is the bitcoin in venezuela banned 100% (although only have it)
Defense your self cause you are not criminal you are only bitcoin user .There's no right to punished you. I think your fellow mens are not open minded in this kind of business.

Even if you have to pass KYC, there is no problem. You can generate a new address and you will become anonymous again.

Hodler to f bitcoin can't trace by the government there's only the platform exchange can know the identity of the hodler's of bitcoin, because the exchange are requiring to validate the users submitted to vaid identification for money laundering purposes.

There's no such definite rules that bitcoin will link to crime as well. Only ways that government could trace your bitcoin was through banking transfer transactions. The bank is always there to have transparency to become more effective in through blockchain and fiat transfers. I think there must stronger rules against the right of bitcoin users to become protected, due to it's a decentralized currency.

It decentralized nature won't makes it easy for them, but they can regulate a centralized to do kyc for users with registered wallet, with that they can trace the address and match with the photo

I think you will not be tracked. Because bitcoin is anonymous. so the government will not be able to track you even if you use bitcoin. You must keep yourself from others. I think you will stay safe. And use bitcoin carefully. You will not be tracked by your government.

It is very difficult to trace it unless there are new regulations that requires us to submit some documents and fill up some forms before we cam cash out our funds

It is very difficult to trace your BTC account.
The only way to trace that you have BTC is when you convert your BTC to cash. Unless, you just need your BTC and not cash. No problem with you.

Usually it's easy to track cryptocurrency transaction but hard to relate that transaction to a specific person. They need a starting point connected to you, such as a exchange that has your personal info. If you only buy and sell cryptos than it's almost impossible to prove you own a wallet.
