Quote:Wallet Address De-anonymization: Because Bitcoin operates on a public ledger, chain analysis firms can often connect a specific Bitcoin address to a user's real-world identity (e.g., through KYC checks at centralized exchanges or public transaction histories).
Wealth Profiling: Once a wallet is tied to your identity, algorithmic pricing engines can see your total balance and transaction history. A merchant's AI pricing tool could automatically quote you a higher price for goods, services, or travel if it detects a large amount of crypto in your wallet.
Payment Linkage: Even if you generate a fresh receiving address for a purchase, sophisticated tracking software linking your IP address, browser cookies, and the transaction broadcast can identify your patterns.
Was reading an article about it, and there are efforts to curtail it, but lobbyist are already trying to work loopholes into the legislation.
What do you call a law that looks like it's supposed to do something but actually doesn't?
I’m not adept at using search here, and scouring this thread I can’t seem to find it.
Usually some other forum member finds it for me in like 10 seconds…..
It’s $67k today….

I found this, but not the bet. Some interesting reading in this thread from a few years ago.
I can’t search for it right now but I’m 100.% confident it was if it dropped below 60k and in fact for a few minutes it did go below 60 but I think Billy said he wouldn’t count thatQuote: billryanI was thinking it was 60K but will look for it. Checking the bitcoin price will give me the day, as it was crashing.

I always require my opponent on these on line bets to be responsible for remembering. That being said, if Billy (or another Good Samaritan) can’t find the bet I’ll have to declare Billy the winner, as he does aver that he remembers it at $60k!
And it IS written down….. we just don’t remember where….

Wanna bet? I’ll bet you whatever you want Bitcoin doesn’t drop to $60k this year. I think that easily encompasses ‘in sight’. Like I’ll by a gross of socks for your mission, and you’ll send me two dozen Josh Allen logo golf balls?
Offer good today!

Plus, you're sentenced to three weeks of internment in a degenerate gamblers' reform camp for cooking up a "[for] whatever you want" bet offer at 5 am.Quote: SOOPOO.Quote: billryanI don't know what a dozen Josh Allen balls go for, so let's call it a dollar amount, up to $100. I'll wager Bitcoin hits $60,000 before it hits 100,000.

Ok. I’ll consider our bet for $25 on! As I do with all my bets here, I expect YOU to be the one who remembers it!

Thank you Dark. I will wait for Billy to tell me which charity he wants the money donated to. I don’t think revealing he told me by pm to donate it to a charity of my choosing will get me suspended! I hope Billy publishes his favorite charity here, so possibly others will donate as well.
Good bet, Billy!
