ahh yes crypto, where every single transaction is kept on a permanent ledger, truly a bastion of privacy unlike this dollar bill that may or may not have been used to snort cocaine or put in a strippers thong.
Or maybe, that dollar bill has lived an especially wild life and was used to snort coke off a strippers ass before being placed into a thong.
A ledger which is pseudonymous. On Bitcoin lightning, your transactions don’t go on (but are secured by) the Bitcoin ledger. Monero offers even more privacy.
So, you agree that it’s not anonymous?
It’s pseudonymous, with proper use, you can achieve a great deal of anonymity with it, especially now that lightning and coinjoin are things. Monero does most of that automatically, so if you want hard anonymity the easy way, use Monero. Bitcoin’s privacy continues to increase with time and is a priority for developers. An auditable supply is also crucial.
so not anonymous? If you aren’t guaranteed 100% anonymous, you are not anonymous in the slightest.
