"Pseudo anonymous" as it relates to cryptocurrency seems a silly term to me. We might not see it right in front of us now, but...

In 2011, during the first huge Bull rally, mass-media and some internet articles called BTC an anonymous currency.
I was surprised to later learn about the "Pseudo anonymous" nature of Bitcoins.

bitcoin is anonymous.. right up until the point someone tells the world their bitcoin address.. Mr. 15DYJpWJe9H1YofsNQbP9JEWWNn7XPZgbS..

so now people know your address. they can see part/all of your holdings. but still dont know who your sending it to or if the send addresses are also yours or not,, right up until the point them addresses are linked to a name.

so bitcoin is as anonymous as cash.. right up until you get caught on CCTV handing over the bank note.. so overall most/all currencies are pseudo, including bitcoin. because even using mixers. if someone knows one of yor send addresses, he knows atleast something about your financial history
