Can someone find out that you own bitcoin ?

[cammie16]

With d little knowledge I av on crypto,  I would say, absolutely it is possibly, but the method depends on who the someone is.. in theory, it's almost always possible. Anyone who visits an exchange and registers their identity, can in theory be tracked easily unless the person uses fake information.

You are right, tracing and tracking the bitcoin owner is really possible most specially if someone undergo a kyc verification also the technology is high now and all is possible to trace now.

[A Feeder]

I would say yes, because we're hi-tect to technology days past they update and improve that people easily pick up and know so don't put your real info to avoid know you and you characteristics and this time it is hard to keep your privacy especially if you access internet.

[Netnox]

As far as I know, there is no mechanism to link a particular Bitcoin address with an IP. So unless you links your wallet with some exchange or bank-related stuff, your identity will remain anonymous.

[kiboloves]

Most of the encrypted currencies are pseudo anonymous. I think the best thing to do in terms of anonymity is XMR, DASH, XVG, so in the future, anonymous money may grow even more.

[Gurjasmeet]

I think it's so easy to find out our ownership of bitcoin. because when we open the account in bank or any other public dealing organisation submitted the identity proof by us.one things more almost transactions are doing online system means Internet. due to high technology it is  possible to find out l think so.

[Om.monata]

may be able to know from the address that we send between exchange through transaction. so I think we can see someone transactions from the exchange address. this can be seen by the public

[ani4]

not just bitcoin but all cryptocurrency in general are pseudo anonymous. It's up to you and how you handle your transaction and how you keep your asset.
I believe transparency is key characteristic of blockchain and with now KYC for more exchanges I believe being anonymous is now just a history.

Privacy/fungibility will be a key issue moving forward. KYC/AML and the way legal entities (corporations) interact with crypto-currencies is something that everyone should become familiar with. They are the enemy of freedom/crypto-anarchism.

There will be multiple competing methods of interacting with crypto... the system/bankers/legal version will be somewhat of a dystopian nightmare, as it currently already is. Those who know how to use decentralized exchanges and keep their jurisidiction in tact will be as free as you can get financially.

Ignore what is sold to the masses, learn why it is sold to them and how to avoid enslaving yourself... since that is the only goal of the traditional banking/legal system.

[Al-e_x]

we can't be anonymous with bitcoin that we have, everything can be tracked in every block. this is the most important thing, the privacy of bitcoin is yours and you have to secure your private key.

[cjmalicious]

There are numerous ways you can be uncovered as a Bitcoin client. On the off chance that you don't utilize ToR or comparative programming, your ISP realizes that you visit Bitcoin assets like this discussion. Individuals leave numerous breadcrumbs that can uncover them even with no chain examination, they talk about Bitcoin straightforwardly via web-based networking media or even in private messages (locales like Facebook certainly read them), same goes for genuine - one can specify Bitcoin a couple of times with companions and all of a sudden everybody realizes that they are a Bitcoin client.

[Falmera]

I was following a thread and was amused by some of the answers. I'm interested to see how much people know.

You true identity will not be identified in crypto world. It is so difficult for  someone to know you, how much more if someone wants to know the owner of the bitcoin he is buying. Unless you will reveal yourself or is required like KYC.

[AliciaHenry12]

I do not think anyone can know that you own a bitcoin, only if you open it. And if the account or wallet bitcoin information was hacked into someone, I'm sure that they will take away your bitcoin number.

[quocsi]

No one knows I own bitcoin. That's what all bitcoin investors know and like it. therefore the bitcoin owner is always anonymous

[Scratchcatch]

Only if you aren't careful enough or if you want to be identified.

i think it is not, except if we told that someone about we have bitcoin. even there are transaction, it will not show who is the owner of the address. even in market you will need paper from law enforcer to get info from someone's account

Your opinion is the same as mine, it is impossible for a person's identity to be recognized just that he is talking about bitcoin. although visible address on the transaction I think it will be difficult to find the identity of the owner

   The is now the Guest list of all the Bitcoin follower with a lot of Pseudo name as posted. it is good this decentralized we are all invisible to one another in these site or forum. But it can be trace yet it is a none issues to investigate on the personality involved. We are all safe to assumed that we are just one among Million of Bitcoin followers on the market.

[Ramonranger]

its hard to find out that you own bitcoin, as long as no one knows that you have wallet. as far as transaction excess in cryptocurrency the bitcoin has its own secrecy that no one can find out.

[babarian]

it could be if they knew your wallet address, if the person didn't know your wallet address then they would have a hard time knowing your bitcoin assets. and I don't think you can just keep your wallet address so many people know it

[ParveZ219]

Yes they can find out if the wallets can say the place of your transaction but i dont think it can say...And infact the illegal works are done after mixing the bitcoins..Which makes it more anonymous...So it is not so easy to trace someone who is holding bitcoins...And if you are giving your bitcoin address to someone then they can easily see that you are having bitcoins...so if the government is getting any trace of that address then they can get you.

[pat4cryptoreal]

We in the cryptocurrency community may think not possible to trace a bitcoin owner. There are so many ways to track bitcoin owner. There is no bitcoin to fiat exchanger that do not require your detail for KYC. The person can be trace through IP unless the person uses some application to hide IP. The person can be trace through bitcoin address.

[XFlowZion]

Yes because we certainly have done transactions by doing trade. Even the transfer of our bitcoin from coinbase to whatever is enough to for someone to find out that we own bitcoin. Just a single address is also enough to track all of our bitcoins in different wallets. This would only happen if the person really pursues to find out that you have it.
