Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a public blockchain cryptocurrency. Transactions are pseudonymous but traceable via blockchain analysis — unlike Monero for payment privacy.

Bitcoin addresses do not show names on-chain, but flows can be clustered and linked to exchanges or merchants. Tor hides network origin; it does not anonymize an on-chain payment trail.
