Is Bitcoin anonymous if exchanges and some wallets require identities? Should we assume that our identity information will be leaked if we use KYC-ed wallets? Besides buying, what is a reliable way to acquire bitcoin? How can I set up a wallet without providing identity? Do you still recommend using CoinJoins? Could they become illegal?

These questions are from the third and fourth sessions of MOOC 12, which took place on September 27th, October 4th, and October 26th 2019 respectively.

  1. Q&A: I see that ledger nano S/X generate a new address when you want to receive some Bitcoin. This improve privacy? How does it works? The government can figure out all your bitcoin if you send in different addresses generated by the ledger nano?

  2. i'd add that if you're buying coins from people by meeting up with them, there's a risk that you get ' tainted coins' that have been used on some black market or something similar, so there's a risk if you want to sell them to lets say Coinbase.

  3. The truth is even with the falling in price of bitcoin,bitcoin is still young and many say it here to stay. Just a few days ago a huge bitcoin transfer was observed which is possible related to this , I watch several video online until I came along one with so much recommendation comments of MIKE on cryptocurrency YouTube channel, I reach out with him and he gave me the best trips to excel the world I invest with MIKE and he really changed my life i invest with him and I made 9btc into my wallet you can reach to him through Gmail:-adammike664@gmail,com
