Yes - through GPS in the bitcoin wallet code can be correct if you are using some unknown wallet that may have a backdoor not that there is any that i have seen so far!

I haven't seen GPS in wallet code yet. Of course it would have to have GPS hardware to operate as well. Theoretically possible on a phone wallet. Grin

Yes - your identity is always revealed this depends on the type of wallet you are using. if you are using a WALLET like bitcoin core, armory, electrum,... then it is not. but if you are using a bitcoin ACCOUNT which they call wallet such as coinbase then it is true.

The key word in this answer would be "always". Rather than "in some cases".

Yes - through the nodes this can also be true but not easy. basically you have to create a ton of nodes and connect to a ton of other nodes. then you select someone's node and connect to it and fill all its connection slots. each time that node sends a transaction you check to see whether you have seen this transaction before (if it is relaying it) or it is a new one (creating it). if it is new then he owns the coins.

> Can nodes tell which bitcoin addresses belong to which IP addresses?

No.

i was pointing out the "special cases" of each of these situations where they may become true Tongue

for example satoshi is right nodes can't tell these things but there is a way of isolating a node that you want (like government performing these stuff with a lot of funds) and get the information you want out of it.
