It is an unfortunate truth that #bitcoin 's privacy guarantees are poor. While use of Bitcoin itself is pseudonymous in nature, most users obtain Bitcoin from an exchange which must keep a record of their identity and withdrawals due to #kyc (Know Your Customer) regulations. Further, there are a number of common heuristics which can be applied to analyse the Bitcoin blockchain and make it possible to determine the ownership of funds across many transactions with a high degree of probability. --------WE NEED YOUR HELP-------- "We need your help!
