Topic: Can someone find out that you own bitcoin ? - page 2. (Read 787 times)
If you don't talk about it with anyone and if you hold your bitcoin on cold storage then i believe no one will know that you own bitcoin. It is different if you install some crypto app on your phone or notebook and other people see it, they can guess that you own bitcoin although they won't know how much you have.
It is pseudo anonymous so if you are not careful it can be revealed. That i believe because if you are not careful enough with your information it will be known to people that is why hackers are everywhere, for those who are careless.
no one will know unless you tell them your public key but other than than that i cant of any idea to know the identity of some just looking at public keys, bcoz theres a lot of public keys on the ledger.
The principle of unchanging rule of thumb is not to rely on any form of backup, which makes hackers look into their computers and cause cyberattacks. of you you should be careful
I was following a thread and was amused by some of the answers. I'm interested to see how much people know.
If you keep your bitcoins for a long time somewhere in cold storage, hardly anyone will know about them. However, if you go with them to exchanges and exchangers, while registering and leaving your information, then there is no question of anonymity here. It should be taken into account that bitcoin is only relatively anonymous and if you will simply carry out trading activities, even without leaving your data openly anywhere, then the secret services will be able to easily calculate you if you so desire. 
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.

isn't it just the Centralized Exchange that applies the KYC process to its users?
and I think for the decentralized exchange, it still puts forward anonymous nature in every transaction that occurs
then how can the government know, that I am doing crypto assets?

It's very simple: to find out that you are a user or owner of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, you can simply contact your provider and ask for a printout of the resources you visit. Next is the matter of technology. Over passwords will not be there, but that's where you come in you will find very easily and quickly.
I'm not sure but i just think that someone can know that you own bitcoin even it's anonymous but there are still a lot of hackers outside
Cryptographic wallet is secured at its basic form because it has private keys that you should always keep it away from cyber criminals around. If you fail to protect these keys, then you are just revealing your wallet to these criminals and allow them to loot whatever you have in there.
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
right, even though they don't know about the world of Cryptocurrencies and bitcoin, I will tell about bitcoin and the benefits of bitcoin to my friends and close friends, if they are interested in joining then I will tell them how to get bitcoin easily and at the right time based on market prices.
Yes! In my opinion, we can track up people who holds bitcoin and how much he holds on. Even you don't have any access with his wallet and even you are not a hacker, you can see the bitcoin's owner through the signature. I do that already when a familiar person sent me bitcoins in my wallet. Using the transaction, I saw his key that he used to send the BTC. Therefore, I know already his wallet eventhough I don't have any access with it.
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.
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.

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.
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
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.

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 accountYour 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.
Only if you aren't careful enough or if you want to be identified.
No one knows I own bitcoin. That's what all bitcoin investors know and like it. therefore the bitcoin owner is always anonymous
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.
