Bitcoin Is Public—Not Private
Every Bitcoin transaction is recorded on a public ledger. Without privacy best practices, anyone can link addresses, transactions, and even identities.
Risks of Poor Privacy
- Targeting: Large or frequent transactions can make you a target for scams or hacks.
- Linkability: Addresses can be connected through patterns and reused addresses.
- Loss of financial autonomy: Surveillance and restrictions become easier when activity is traceable.
Simple Privacy Tips
- Use a new address for each transaction
- Avoid sharing wallet screenshots or transaction IDs
- Learn about CoinJoin or privacy-focused wallets
- Be mindful of KYC exchanges and on-chain analysis
Security Tip
Privacy isn’t about hiding—it’s about protecting your future freedom. Start with small habits and stay consistent.
