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.

People know my address, if i send money to a porn shop or a violent cult, my boss, my wife, my children or the whole world will be able to see it

Some people's intellectual capability is actually laughable. Bitcoin is worse than Cash if talking about privacy

well if people know your addess. then make a second address and send the funds there.. if questioned about it say you spent the funds bying a pair of shoes or something..

if people know all the random addresses of porn websites.. flip the argument around and ask them how they know so much.. they must obviously visit the sites too..

as long as you not stupid enough to do a straight transaction from a known address of yours, to a known receiving address.. then you can deny it and say it was someone else.. thats why its pseudonomous.. because it needs people to not tell the world what the addresses sending and receiving are..

so get into practice of not just using funds from a well known address directly.. and if too many people know it.. just move all your funds around and just drop and ignore the old known address..
its not like a bank where you need application forms just to get an address.. so feel free to make 50 addresses and move it around.. stop being so public about your spending and ur wife/boss wont know who sent what or why.. again stop telling people addresses of funds dedicated for purchases of things you dont want known
