no one can easily find the Bitcoin address owner. and if the owner of a specific Bitcoin address takes some extra security steps then it becomes impossible to trace him. imagine a new address for every single transaction that's how some wallets recommend using bitcoins but you can use other methods too like the paper wallet or dice roll wallet or any other type of wallet you plea.

Not so surprising. There is a whole industry building around wallet tracking. The open ledger is a blessing and a curse. Luckily open ledgers go both ways, if people force their governments to use open ledgers then there will be no more trillion dollars missing incidents!

That's might be a joke site. Any crypto programmer can generate a bitcoin address without giving any organization name etc. You can actually create a bitcoin address with your name using vanity.

No, it's not a joke. I've updated first post.

There is a service where you can see which exchange (organized market) is the owner of bitcoin address. It seems the Google hides all links from me  Grin. I can't find it already 2 hours. Give me the link, please.

I haven't seen a service like that, bitcoin addresses can be only traced through explorer. The only ones we can see on whom/where it is belongs those that are using vanity.

never heard such a thing mate ? i just know,every local exchanger have their unique wallet address.
so that mean we know from where it's came from based on the address itself

not from any kind of those service that you mentioned above.

Bitcoin is well known because of the anonymity and yet you asked such a question?
even if you encounter any kind of that service,it would be better to stay away because more likely it's scam attempt.

Note : if you want to know what exchange,try to understand charateristic of the address that you wanted to know

You are completely wrong. Every Bitcoin address is based just on a secret key and they are generated randomly and it's impossible to know the owners. That is one of advantages of Bitcoin.

I think you can tell someone's bitcoin address by the way it is constructed, for example a Filipino bitcoin address starts with number 3, when you search for a bitcoin wallet starting at number 3 or do a research about it, you will be seeing the result as coins.ph because it is the popular bitcoin address there.

Are you saying that these service are getting the information of every bitcoin address owners and being seen by the public? Or the kind of bitcoin wallet is being used? I am kind of confused, can you clear it out for me?

That can't be right, anonymity is key - must be a mistake.

14J5fDhvtPsFdDH4jficvFRomLMScM5rUP is owner poloniex.com
1EAq8KENRcdazFzGpGb8U2syTHAYpXF7fo is owner HaoBTC.com
