Lucky Kite on Nostr: Bitcoin is not anonymous, and any attempts to make payments more anonymous still ...
Bitcoin is not anonymous, and any attempts to make payments more anonymous still requires you to keep records of transactions for tax purposes. Only the experts and lawbreakers can use bitcoin anonymously, and even then its not a done deal. Lightning wallets require email addresses, average people don't or can't self host, and even thats only pseudo-anonymous unless you really go out of your way . Zaps expose your identity, decentralised nodes are never going mainstream. Making bitcoin not useful.
