Bitcoin — Transparency and Privacy

Last updated: May 2026

Bitcoin is the most well-known cryptocurrency, but its blockchain is fully transparent. To use Bitcoin privately, you need additional steps.

Mixing / Tumbling

Using a Bitcoin mixer (tumbler) can help obscure the origin of your coins. However, many mixers are scams. Use reputable services with a proven track record.

CoinJoin

CoinJoin is a technique where multiple users combine their transactions to obscure the link between inputs and outputs. This is implemented in wallets like Wasabi and Samourai.
