they check your exchange account. Somehow you will need money to buy it, event though you get bitcoin from bounty they will know when you withdraw your money from exchange. So somehow there is a record of your transaction.

If you connect to internet and you do transaction, trading or investing. They can track your IP from your device who connected to internet. But i don't think they can identification (or maybe they can, but it will be take more time) who use it if you use the net cafe or changing your IP before using your BTC.

I'm not sure about this, but I think it's going to be very difficult to detect every citizen in the crypto industry. there should be a special team in the form and in content by many IT experts. so that's not easy to my knowledge. even more so if you use a network-like protection. and the strongest factor is that the bitcoin and other crypto have anonymous properties
It all depends on the government itself. Is there a structure that keeps track of all these actions? If it does not, then you should not worry. Everything is O.K. If so, then you should think about transactions, addresses, access to the internet, and other minor details. So you can get around or not get caught on hot.
The government can trace you if you have a BTC or participating in it by going to the various BTC wallet address imputing your email, phone number they will know also by knowing your wallet addresses, Hope you know some country have email address database and all phone numbers database of all their citizens, so if the government want to know if you have BTC they will known.
if you are selling BTC for cash, man to man, without using ATMs or similar, there is no way to track You
The world is now a global village. Your government can only get through to you by things you bought online and through KYC you did with some ICO projects. Bitcoin can only be decentralized when your transaction is only P2P that is personalized. If you are living there do not deal with any online with bitcoin. Trade cautiously.
I think the government can keep track of local bank account numbers. every time we withdraw assets from the market then the money is transferred to a local bank account so it can easily be track through that process

You are always using the internet which under the view of Government....you dont have any private network...Now if you are using virtual private network or tunnels then if somehow data leak happens then you will lose the game...So be careful,you can use remote desktop connection also for these... 
It is not easy to track bitcoin hodlers specially if you keep you btc to safe wallet. The idea of crypto currencies is to keep your asset unanimously. Unless you send your identity like KYC of some ICO and Exchanges.

the government can keep track of local bank account numbers. every time we withdraw assets from the market then the money is transferred to a local bank account so the government can track if we use crypto. or the government will enter the local coin exchange website system so that all users of the website can be known all the personal data information.
As far as I know given my not so wide knowledge here in the crypto currency community, there no way that the government will be able to trace a certain people if he or she is having a Bitcoin. Because first and foremost, the Bitcoin is a decentralize which also has a peer to peer transactions. Unless you say it yourself to the crowd that you are a Bitcoin user.
That is not true. The fact that bitcoin is decentralied has nothing to do with identification. It's the question where and what type ot traces do you leave when using bitcoin.
If you are registered at one of exchanges you also have to provide your ID and other personal data and on the request exchanges have to provide these data to law enforcement. Also, there are some tools that enable tracing transactions so don't think that you are completely anonimous.
I think the government couldn't really track you down unless you are using a Bitcoin wallet which needs an I.D or KYC to be used.
And the government couldn't know it unless you would say it out loud that you are a Bitcoin owner or earner.

Well if youll just earning bitcoin from trading and signature campaigns I dont think government can trace that you have BTC because you did not show your identity the reason why it is safe to investors and government cant trace it.
Government can trace you if you reveal your true identity like photo, address and different important informations related to you through KYC, mostly ask in participating on airdrops and bounty, but if you are earning bitcoin through exchanges, I think they can't trace you. Just avoid the exchanges asking for KYC and authentication. Since bitcoin transaction are anonymous, no one know you are a bitcoin holder unless you reveal.

of course with ip from your computer the government knows it. because the increasingly sophisticated era of ip tracking is now very easy if you want to learn it. especially if your government insists on banning bitcoin in your country.
Government can relate a particular wallet to the amount of bitcoin being held by the owner but it will be very difficult to identify the owner. Bitcoin wallets are free and easy to create this one person can own a number of them. Government will be aware of the existence of a wallet but not who owns the wallet.

if you are registered on a centralized exchange with your passport and other legal documents of your country and if you login to sell or buy from those exchanges, you would expose yourself as one example.
