I recently got intrigued about the topic of privacy and annonymity when @TresDMan wrote about it here #516750
Then I just researched it a bit and found this crap out.
Privacy and anonymity are related but still different. While anonymity intentionally keeps a user's identity hidden, privacy implies that their personal data should not be available to the general public. However, authorities might have the right to access the information under reasonable circumstances.
This is how a non-bitcoiner or a new-bitcoiner may define this narrative in a narrow sense.
But, if you really want to understand how these two terms have actually interplayed towards facilitating a better narrative for Bitcoin, you must read it.
It's no wonder that people are looking for ways to protect their privacy, especially when it comes to financial transactions. Bitcoin, the world's first decentralized digital currency, has been touted as a solution to this problem. But just how anonymous and private is Bitcoin? The answer is not as simple as you might think.
