Hello, I'm curious about something related to cryptocurrency transactions on platforms like Coinbase. I understand that cryptocurrencies are decentralized, but given that Coinbase is a centralized exchange, does that mean the government can potentially see my transactions on the platform? I'm asking this because I want to ensure that my privacy is protected when it comes to my financial activities, but I also understand that regulations may vary depending on the country I'm in. Can you clarify if the government has access to my Coinbase transactions and what steps I can take to protect my privacy?

Cryptocurrency transactions, while seemingly anonymous, possess a level of traceability that is often overlooked. This is due to the fact that transactions conducted on public blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are fully visible to the public eye.

The transparency of these transactions extends beyond just the value exchanged, as details such as the sender's and receiver's wallet addresses are also recorded on the blockchain.

Despite the use of pseudonyms or 'anonymous' addresses, regulatory bodies like the IRS possess the technological capabilities to potentially match these transactions to identifiable individuals.

This is a testament to the dual nature of cryptocurrency: while it offers a degree of privacy and anonymity, it also leaves a digital footprint that can be traced back to its origin.
