Privacy: What's Visible and What Stays Yours
We clarify what's public in Bitcoin — and what you can protect.
What you'll take away
A realistic understanding of privacy, without exaggeration in either direction.
The Bitcoin record is public: every transaction is visible to all. But it doesn't carry your name — only digital addresses. This is called pseudonymity.
That means privacy isn't automatic. Anyone who links an address to your name can track your activity. Knowing this is the first step to protecting it.
There are simple habits that protect your privacy without complexity — part of a conscious, responsible use of Bitcoin, not a way to hide anything.
Privacy isn't secrecy, but the natural right not to have everything you do with your money watched. Bitcoin gives you the tools to preserve it — if you know how.
