Thought exercise example. You want to support Snowden so you zap him $100,000 in Bitcoin. The US government imprisons you for supporting a treasonous criminal, or even accessory to his crimes because the blockchain is evidence. Solutions?

Bitcoin keeps your transactions strictly P2P. Don't be stupid and involve third parties, ever.

Keep your financial information to yourself, and don't KYC for any reason.

How does Bitcoin keep transactions strictly P2P? Maybe I’m missing something but your ip-address and the wallet addresses sending and receiving are on a publicly distributed blockchain ledger forever. Those addresses could be used to correlate your sent and received funds to every wallet/ip-address you interact with. Yes?

Nope. This is why you run a node.
