Is Bitcoin less anonymous than we think?
<html>
<h1>https://s4.postimg.org/gn29bjijx/anonymous-message-about-world-di.jpg</h1>
<h1>I guess that question is more of a individual question that each of us must answer, however, in general terms the overall answer is probably "yes"!</h1>
<p>One of the major benefits of using Bitcoin is because it is anonymous, or at least mostly anonymous, right?</p>
<p>We can move money around all over the world if we want to without revealing explicitly who we are.</p>
<p>That was the dream at least.</p>
<p>However, it looks like those days might be numbered.</p>
<h1>The truth is that Bitcoin is less anonymous than people think.&nbsp;</h1>
<p>According to a report out recently, the IRS is currently using special software to reveal Bitcoin users identities in order to find out who is failing to pay their taxes (among other reasons probably).</p>
<p>A contract was discovered between the IRS and Chainalysis where it was revealed that the IRS is paying them to help identify the owners of digital wallets.&nbsp;</p>
<h1>Not that surprising, but how much do they really know?</h1>
<p>That is where it gets a little scary...</p>
<p>A letter from the co-founder of Chainalysis to the IRS reveals that the company has information on over <strong>25% of all Bitcoin addresses.</strong></p>
<p>A screenshot of the letter can be seen here:</p>
<p>https://s4.postimg.org/bluva6b3h/screen-shot-2017-08-22-at-9-35-31-am.png</p>
<p>Not to mention they have tags on other accounts which may be used to find the identities of those accounts at some point.</p>
<p>Chainalysis is based in Switzerland (ironically?) and has an office in New York.</p>
<h1>The IRS is out for blood.</h1>
<p>The hiring of Chainalysis goes right along with the earlier crackdown on Coinbase by the IRS. Where they tried to get information from Coinbase on all their accounts in order to catch tax evaders.</p>
<p>Luckily Coinbase wouldn't play ball, so now the IRS is requesting information only on suspected tax evaders.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The IRS claimed that only 802 people declared a capital gain or loss on Bitcoin in 2015, which is a shockingly small number considering millions of transactions took place during that year (including hundreds of thousands by Americans) and the coin went from roughly $12 to $1200 over a couple year stretch.</p>
<p>There is a very high likelihood that many people made a lot of money during that time but decided they didn't have to report that income.</p>
<p>The IRS wants a piece of the action.</p>
<h1>Bad news for some...</h1>
<p>The bad news is that there are likely many people who thought they had gotten away with not reporting their gains from 2013-2015, and this new contract makes it look like these people are about to have some Bitcoin related tax trouble in the very near future...</p>
<p>The slight glimmer of hope is that the IRS seems to be focusing on transactions over $20,000, (at least they were with Coinbase), so it appears they are mostly going after the larger accounts.</p>
<p>Which should give a little comfort to the little guy who perhaps also didn't report his gains...</p>
<p>Stay safe and stay informed my friends.</p>

Thanks for the post. have heard varying things on how anonymous he system is. Of course makes sense that they would try and tax anything they can.

Of course the IRS will be going after their share.  There's no anonymity exchanging crypto into fiat.  Any financial institution will want some type of identifying information.  They claim its to prevent terrorism, but we all know its to also keep track of any transactions so the government can get their share.

I agree with you 50% but there is a way you can be sure you erased your track, blockchain wallet changes adresses often and you have a tons of ways to loose track of your bitcoins and also you have many ways to leave track when going in or cashing out.

Nice info, I didn't know they knew so much already but it doesn't surprise me. 

I wrote a lengthy post on how the blockchain will not bring the anonymous libertarian utopia, but instead a completely transparent one, about a week ago. Maybe somebody would like to read it and make my day, because I don't get all that many views: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@pandorasbox/why-bitcoin-and-the-blockchain-will-not-bring-the-libertarian-utopia-you-desire-the-future-is-not-anonymous-and-perhaps-not-even

I heard that BTC will hard fork around December, but will expectedly continue its upward trend until then. Just word on the street is all.

All income needs to be report. Period. If the USA is able to track down evaders using numerical accounts in safe havens hidden by identity and foreign corporations surely they are going to find out if they want to.

I heard for a long time that the entire transaction chain can be tracked. And additionally it is easy to identify the recipient and the sender.

As far as I know only Monero has strong privacy, encryption to make it anonymous, Bitcoin has been always transparent, except it was difficult to know which address belongs to whom, but we may guess that NSA knows it. Steem is very  transparent.

I don't actually see privacy in the blockchain, I see transparency.

Yes there are private coins, however, the main benefit of a truly open system is that no-one can hide, nor should anyone be trying to.

The main concern is now it is everyone's responsibility to properly manage their own universe and make sure everything has it's place.

Being sovereign comes at a cost.

Privacy is surely one of the main reason why people started and invested in Bitcoins and, as you so so well yourself, it is not surprising to see the IRS colluding with the Chinese trying to mingle in such affairs...

This single fact may very well bring forth a reassessment of the value of cryptos by many involved and therefore provide for a decentralization of investments toward Bitcoins into a much wider realm of cryptocurrencies that actually provide for a full anonymity. It wouldn't surprise me and actually greatly look forward to that day, especially now that we have the technology to do so.

Great article, as always, thanks!   Namaste   :)

Well our opinions are different of course. I know that Bitcoin keeps a record of every transaction every account makes a "ledger". So yes, it's not all that anonymous.

It's the opposite of it.  The Blockchain saves everything. Just look at how the Gov has been tracking bitcoin through like 10 transfers through different wallets!

They are probably going after accounts over $20k initially. If it bears fruit you can be sure they will be going after smaller accounts as well. Get your taxes in order!

At no point have I personally thought of bitcoin as an anonymous currency... just a convenient one. But it seems like a lot of other people want it to be, almost are trying to will it to be anonymous! 

Better to just use an anonymous cryptocurrency (Zcash, Monero) if that is your outright goal.

Bitcoin was anonymous specially from 2013 to august 2017 but now I think its not anonymous more after  improvements and governmental pressure.Specially for those who make transaction about 4 bitcoins or more.

The best way to really get out of the blockchain and be anonymous is via Monero, Zcash or Dash.

So basically anyone who HODL Bitcoin will have to pay tax. What if in say 5 years 1 BTC is over 20k dollar? 
Also maybe that is why Monero is getting more popular and the price almost doubled today (i read there were some other less legal things behind the price jump but still).

There is not such a thing in Blockchain tech. Now SegWit will kill pretty much the privacy Bitcoin was known for.  😠   😡

US Politicians will pass laws requiring the same identification needed at banks for exchanges. Bitcoin may become a government's dream, they can monitor and track every transaction.

Yes! The fact that Satoshi Nakamoto hasn't touched the 1 Million BTC he mined for himself just goes to show that even the founder realizes that any electronic trail can be followed. Apparently Chainalysis has some very sophisticated software.

The greedy government will stop at nothing to get their way. The more main stream bitcoin will get the more aggressive the government will get at tracking and tracing. The sad thing is that other governments worldwide will follow suit. Lets see how far they will go with this :)

Good post.  
Nothing is anonymous if the government or someone with the money and power wants to find out something or get to someone they can do it in a heart beat.  I remember someone telling me they wouldn't be surprised if the Gov. created btc to keep track of the dark web sites and bust them just to keep the fake war on drugs going.  Who knows!

The IRS is going to get their money one way or another. That is how they roll. Not a big deal for me because I am poor as a church mouse.

Probably not so for many that are heavily invested in cryptocurrency. They are probably all headed for a heart attack.

This was a definite resteemable post! Thank you so much for the information.

### This scares the shit out of me! 
Look at the [flow diagram](http://wizsec.jp/images/theft_flow.svg) from the Mt.Gox theft. 

I mean it's great they caught the bad guy but Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous at best. 

That flow diagram would be non-existent on chains with RingCT like #monero or #particl. There's a difference between [Privacy and Secrecy](https://distributed.com/news/promising-true-privacy-online-purchases/) everyone needs to understand and fight for.

Bitcoin was never anonymouse. All information is public.
One can maintain some level of anonymity if he use brain.

Yeah, I have been under no illusion of Bitcoin being anonymous. I guess as long as you are willing to leave it alone, and not convert it to fiat dollars, then you are ok as well. 

But I'm pretty sure that the IRS will find some large account to make an example out of and try to scare the masses into compliance.

Those who understand how blockchain knew this all along. It's hard to be anonymous if you actually want to get money out. I guess you can go via other coins that are less traceable. I think some Steemit users are also finding out that their actions can be tracked and analysed.

it's not hard. It's damn easy.
BTC -> XMR (or Zcash or DASH) -> anonymouse transaction to another XMR wallet -> BTC -> LocalBitcoins or BTC ATM in neighbouring country.

Most exchanges  I've visited require id, selfie pics, email, first and last names, and addresses. Most anything done online is tracked and traceable anyhow. The VPN proxy sites and apps could most likely be government owned and operated. Please be careful out there and just assume that "they" are watching you at all times.

With a mixer it can be, that you get bad-marked btc also. 

I think the better way is to get Monero and change back.

They say they can trace your block address on the front and back of a washer now.  Bitcoin might as well be Capital One. 

I have a hypothesis on how to by pass prying eyes but it requires a ton of wallet swaps, exchanging and stealth using properly configured tails and tor. And it's far from tested so I won't go into details until it's worked out. 

And while slick $100 cold wallets bought off a website may be the safest way to hold coins I'm not convinced yet that the actual contents can't be logged somewhere else everytime you plug in. 

If you buy something on a normal market they probably have your wallet address, your home address, email and can tell if your holding, spending and where your spending. Running through a washer (that the feds probably own by now) is no good either.

It's better to switch to a privacy by default coin like Monero (XMR) if you are serious about privacy. If your security\privacy settings aren't default or extremely simple to use they will be mostly useless. Look at PGP as an example. Great encryption but awful usability so it's pretty much useless since people using it use it wrong and then leak their message or private keys

Holly Molly. Why would anyone use Bitcoin mixer to get "shady bitcoin income" exchanged for others "shady bitcoin income" while using shady bitcoin mixer with anonymouse owner just waiting for big "order" to run away with?
Especially when I can trade BTC for XMR, Zcash or DASH, hide transaction history, and purchase back BTC from legit sources.
And this would cost me less than Bitcoin mixer service.
