Your claims about tracking bitcoin don't hold water. Bitcoin currently has about the same amount of anonymity as cash. Just like cash can be tracked by serial numbers, bitcoin can be tied to accounts that nobody knows who owns them. Prove me wrong by telling me the name of the person who made this transaction:

You have to read what I wrote. Bitcoin is pseudonymous. The fact of the matter is that you can't back up your claim that companies are able to identify who made that transaction. They can ocassionally tie a transaction to a person, but as soon as the money moves, they don't know it it's still that person's money. At this point we're just talking past each other, so I guess I'll just end with: have a nice day. 👋
LOL "tell me the name of this person" never fails then visa/mastercard transactions have more anonymity than bitcoin AND cash!! otherwise prove me wrong by telling me what was the last visa/mastercard transaction to happen, the amount, and the names involved?!?!

> prove me wrong by fighting this straw man I created > bitcoin has the same anonymity as cash Prove yourself right by showing me the publicly available transaction history of every dollar bill in existence. You can't track cash as it changes hands. You can track which bank ATM it left and which one it wound up in, that's about it. Cash can't be tracked from one hand to another using serial numbers.
