In this video, I discuss how to use a Bitcoin blockchain explorer like mempool.space to track the movement of Bitcoin from one address to another-- and the privacy implications of this.

I also discuss KYC Bitcoin, and how exchanges like Coinbase are able to link your personal information to your activity on the Bitcoin blockchain using chain analysis (chain surveillance).

I further discuss the engineering trade-offs and choices that both Bitcoin and Monero have made.

KYC Bitcoin is probably fine for long-term hodlers. If you want to take Bitcoin privacy to the next level, learn how to buy anonymous Bitcoin and use collaborative transactions like CoinJoin.

The biggest problem is the KYC regime, not Bitcoin's construction.
