Nym, the project that aims to (totally) protect online privacy

You've probably already heard that bitcoin was an "anonymous" currency, that no one could "identify" you... So, at the risk of disappointing you (or reassuring you), that's not the case. 😅

Even though Bitcoin was invented by defenders of online privacy (the  famous "cypherpunks"), the protocol does not act like a cloak of invisibility. And for good reason, the blockchain allows all transactions to be observed. 🔍

There are certainly a few ways of keeping a low profile:

👉 multiplying the number of wallets

👉 limiting the transactions between them

👉 using decentralised applications (Uniswap, Paraswap, etc.) to avoid having to provide your identity

But NOTHING guarantees real anonymity 👤.

Some data such as your IP address, and in general all the metadata (a metadata is a piece of data used to define or describe another piece of data) of electronic communications will always be available.
