With a full list of every transaction, wouldn't it be possible to track down a fair number of every person who bought stuff on SR? Or every person (or at least wallet) that bought a wooden bitcoin dong?

there are 2 main things preventing this 1: you don't know who controls an address unless they prove it. there's not even a way to know if an address is controlled by ANYONE, which is why we don't know for certain if Satoshi even has access to his dragon hoard 2. you can send coins through tumblers to anonymize them, though this is not foolproof but yeah if I pay you a coin out of my account and you know the receiving address of bitcoinbuttplugs.com you can look and see if I also gave them money at some point

you can obfuscate your transactions by basically generating a whole bunch of fake transactions that shuffle coins together, preferably with coins from other sources, and happen to eventually drop the right amount in the right addresses. it's usually called tumbling or mixing or shuffling or something like that in theory it creates plausible deniability: even if someone manages to tie you to the originating address(es), you can claim that your involvement ended there, because you bought something from someone else and it was them who did the rest, honestly officer i don't think this has ever been seriously tested, though and ross supposedly didn't do it when transferring from the sr wallet to the wallet on his laptop, so welp

Don't disorder shame me, neurotypical. quote:“I suspect that the online drug marketplace is a passing fad because it’s too traceable, too vulnerable to hacking,” said Mr. Weaver at the International Computer Science Institute. Once Bitcoins are converted to another currency, the government can subpoena the records of the exchange where the transaction took place and harvest all the information it needs. “Bitcoin isn’t really a ‘coin’ as much as a distributed, public balance ledger,” Mr. Weaver added, “with every balance and transaction recorded.”

You have no idea about the level of sophistication scammers are achieving in order to manage to bypass our KYC! quote:The interesting thing about this story is, the weak link here that made these scams possible in the first place was the inherently weak security of the credit card system.

there's also the fact that the public ledger means that a law-abiding citizen has no financial privacy unless blatant money laundering is legalized. you could easily stalk someone living on bitcoin, especially if they reuse addresses. you'd see how much funds they have, where they're sending those funds to, etc. and unlike a bank account, you don't need a subpoena to get those records.
