I was just told by a buddy of mine I work with who sat through a security briefing recently, that they’re now tracking bitcoin purchases as part of a 90 day review of clearances. That they’re able to tie the purchase to your personal bank account from your wallet and are now tracking outgoing transactions to known bitcoin wallets that sell contraband. They’re mainly looking for government employees buying drugs and possibly money laundering but I don’t see them turning a blind eye to gear either. I personally use cashapp to buy bitcoin and then send it to another wallet that I use to make purchases, but knowing this now, it seems kinda pointless. I knew bitcoin wasn’t completely anonymous to begin with, but knowing the government can track purchases made out of your bank account if you have a clearance is more than concerning to say the least.
Anyone got any further info on this? I’m scheduled for my briefing later this month but obviously knowing more now will help sooner than later. Looking to move to Monero but it seems to have a much steeper learning curve to it than bitcoin.
