Re: Does it take significant skill to "analyze the blockchain"?

There are what I usually name "from" addresses and change addresses. A typical bitcoin transaction can look like this:

https://blockchain.info/tx/72e3dd987cc0cc31def333577e7539b85687d90db922698c08f5d4fef9bb9ade

You are mistaken.

What you linked to is NOT what a bitcoin transaction looks like at all.

That is an interpretation of a bitcoin transaction from a website named "blockchain.info". Many of their "interpretations" are completely invalid.

The transaction that you linked to ACTUALLY looks like this:

Please show me in that actual transaction where you see a "from address" (or any address at all).
