“When you follow a digital currency wallet, it’s not different than an email address that has some correlating identifiers,” Smith said in an interview at the agency’s headquarters. “And once a person and another person make a transaction, and that gets into the blockchain, we have the ability to follow that email address or wallet address, if you will, and trace it through the blockchain.”
This totally proves that blockchain is not private - and how they will use the digital system to target people.
True!
I was quite surprised they said this.
I hope people remember this next time someone is promoting digital currency and blockchain.
