    I guess you hadn't read the article. The point wasn't that the ledger is public, but that the accounts allegedly were deemed anonymous.

    My point is read the article then criticize it.

      I read it, the point is that people who hadn’t even read the basic information about Bitcoin presented by it’s creator assumed Bitcoin was anonymous.

      This is not as groundbreaking as you seem to think it is.

      Some people didn’t take the time to read closely or think critically and then made poor assumptions.

      Like you, for instance, with your comment.

      But it wasn’t deemed anonymous by anyone who read the bitcoin white paper from 2008. That’s the point… that was never a myth to bust.

      It's paywalled.
