Topic: How can a goverment trace you have BTC? - page 23. (Read 4077 times)

It could be,that government trace you have btc if you use real IP address. You have all time be careful to buy and sell bitcoin. If you use exchanger for bitcoin buy sell then it is easy to find you. That's why you have always use fake address.

Unless you sell your bitcoin in your local exchange and send fiat to your bank account, i think the government cannot trace you.
But the problem is, usually when you want to withdraw fiat to your account, it is required KYC to do so. Your identity will be exposed.

If forced to undergo verification at the exchange, then by transactions of the wallet

Although Bitcoin is decentralized and anonymous, there are still ways for the government to catch you. The government has access in so many things than you think. They can deduct that you are a bitcoin user. If you stay careful every single day, then you can be safe. It's harder than it sounds. Living in crypto world when it is banned makes it more difficult. All the best.

It can be difficult for the governments to trace you, if you are not converting the coins to fiat cash. But once you convert it to cash, everything becomes traceable. But still, it takes a lot of time and effort to identify the individual.

How can the governments track or trace you with your IP, cell phone, credit cards etc etc? You could be anonymous with all those, but only if you're careful and with bitcoin it is the same. You could use top-up debit/credit cards, proxies for your internet connection and throwaway pay-as-you-go burner phones that you've all paid with in cash (or even bitcoin), but if you've slipped up somewhere and there's some way someone can trace the usage of those devices or services to you then the powers that be can do some good old fashion detective work and find out who you are. Look at Ross Ulbricht for example. There's not many people who needed to be as anonymous as him, and despite him being very careful to hide his identify and whereabouts, he made a simple mistake and has now paid with his freedom for the rest of his life because the one slip up exposed his real life identity which ultimately led to him being arrested. He certainly could have been anon for ever, but it's is very difficult to do so. Nobody has discoverer the identity of satohsi... yet, but they may or may not do eventually. If you use bitcoin or services that can some way be traced back to you then you can slip up.

You must remember that bitcoin isn't fully anon and is pseudo-anonymous. The bitcoin blockchain is built upon a huge public ledger so that means everything is recorded. If you're worried about the security or safety of using bitcoin then you must be careful to make sure that nobody can tie your usage to your real world identity at all, and this isn't that easy as many people find out.

I think the government doesn't or will not trace you it's impossible because I think the bitcoin made the transaction anonymously and quietly because when you made a transaction you can only see your public wallet address on the bitcoin block explorer unless you tell them your identity and your public wallet address but why not the government can do anything by the power of technology maybe they are tracking your IP address and getting your histories  just joking but always be careful.

Bitcoin is designed to be anonymous in any transaction unless you let someone to know your identity.If thats the thing im pretty sure they will trace you.

It becomes easy for them by looking at the transactions you make in a bank and attracting a lot.

What they could do is to simply request all the the wallet provider to filter out who among their customer are from valenzuela. But the things could be easier than done, because those wallet provider would be also punishment if they are allowing those people to register and have an account in them. So, if no one will help your government to track those people, they will not know where you from. Another thing to make it sure is to refuse from company KYC, or the time where you need to upload a valid ID to activate your account. There are lot of wallet provider in there that they don't require you to enter your personal details.

we are all anonymous here so it is hard for the government to trace your bitcoin transaction unless there are some service provider that acquire your identity then government ask for it but it should confidential still.

there is no way they will discover you, the worst case scenario is that they will ban all the website that has a connection with crypto currency. as long as you will not expose yourself i think there is no way. the county Venezuela does not ban crypto.

No one will be able to know that you own cryptocurrency unless you tell them of course and reveal your identity.

I agree with you, because we send our i.d's and our information , then they will know where we live. But if the government dont have access to the file that the ico's and airdrops has then you dont have to be afraid, they cant tracked you and they dont know that you have bitcoin.

Socratus give it all there because it's the top project on earth

All Bitcoin transaction is anonymous but sad to say it is still traceable. Some bitcoin transactions needs your personal Identification like sending money through remittance center and using the same bitcoin address on every transactions.

That's nothing possible to happen, since bitcoin is decentralized therefore transaction is anonymous unless if you making transaction that would urge you to reveal your identity. Nevertheless, you shall not worry about it's not crime and they have no ability to steal your bitcoin away from you.

Of course they can trace you using BTC, if you are taking out cash from the BTC ATMs, or if you are selling it for FIAT & sending than FIAT currencies to SEPA accounts for example, than you become visible

if You are mining & hodling BTC than noone knows that the BTC address is yours, but, at the time of spending it, be careful to choose the best untracable way, there are few 

It is very difficult for the state government to track down and find that we have bitcoin. They can not catch us without valid evidence and look physically. Especially bitcoin is made by offering the ease in concealing the identity. Bitcoin has an anonymous facility that allows our original identity to be protected and our original identity can not be misused. Although people can guess if we are playing bitcoin but they have no right at all to track or search for information through our computer device. If that happens then it is a human rights violation.

No way your government can know you have such.
