Bitcoin and Crypto Talk (Merged)(includes NFT)

Interesting who and what is using bitcoin, as well as the possibility it’s not as anonymous as people think:

“Websites such as WeSearchr, which raises money for a “bounty” for information, and Hatreon, where donations can be made to alt-right figures such as Andrew Anglin, primarily use bitcoin for fundraising.

Bitcoin purchases can be traced by a determined researcher. And, the Southern Poverty Law Center will be releasing a list of 200 accounts tied to white nationalists and racists in the coming week.

Forbes Magazine put bitcoin’s secrecy to the test by purchasing small amounts of marijuana online, then asking a researcher to see if she could figure out where the transactions originated.

She found the buys and traced it back to Forbes.”
