How to Hide Your Bitcoin Transaction (Without CoinJoin)

it can be tracked mate

Of course, the Bitcoin blockchain and any transaction moving coins is public (on-chain). The interesting question is indeed, how deep do the "common" exchanges actually track coins?

I would assume they don't do it themselves, but use one of the questionable blockchain analysis/tracker services, that spit out some sort of intransparent risk score for an address. It's unlikely those services let the public look into their inner workings and so it remains a mystery how deep back in transaction history they look and by what means they taint coins.

This intransparency sucks.

I dislike most taxes

My governments' greed keeps growing. A few years ago, the "wealth tax" was 1.2% per year. Now it's 2.12%, next year they're planning to increase it to 2.84%. That's a tax on unrealized gains, and I'm pretty sure that's by far the highest wealth tax on the planet.

I get why we need taxes, but I don't like how much it went up (over the centuries). Not paying more than 10% tax should be a human right, and I believe 10% should be more than enough for any government to cover the basics. Too much money makes them do many things they shouldn't be doing.
The real theft is in structural inflation, created by central banks. We'd be much better off without it, but the current fiat world is literally based on ever growing debt.

Here in a certain South American country, they want to increase taxes to around 17%. There are no revenue limits for the governments. When you give the system a finger, they'll take your whole arm (and then your whole body).

Until recently, we had an exemption of around $6,000 per month. Next year, any profits will be taxed up to 17.5%. If I'm not mistaken, brazilian exchanges will be required to auto-deduct these rates.


And regarding the OP, what's the problem with using CoinJoin? Although there're other methods, such as mixers, privacy coin swaps (BTC x XRM - XMR - BTC), and other points raised in this discussion.

I recommend thoroughly researching the service or method before using it, as one user has already been scammed by a service that claimed to be KYC-free.
