    That was true back in the days when you could mine your own coins and hold them in your own wallet, but with all the KYC requirements these days, it’s pretty hard to get, say, BTC that’s not traceable to you.

    It’s not impossible, but it’s certainly not as easy as cash.

    Pseudonymous. "Anonymous" until you use it in any transaction that can be traced to you, then the anonymity of that account is gone forever and every transaction you've ever made can be public knowledge.

      Sorry for the small correction, it’s pseudonymous. So it’s not “fake not named” (pseudo a nonymous) but “fake named”, since each user can be identified by a unique pseudonym.

        TIL. When it comes to compound words, Germans really are the master race.
