Oops, my bad. What I meant was: Just 'cause you can see the signatures and transaction IDs, doesn't mean you've got the private keys. Those sigs are just proof that someone who had the keys signed off on it.

So learnmeabitcoin.com is wrong stating that you just have to show digital signatures and not your private key to prove bitcoin ownership?

Nah, learnmeabitcoin.com's got it right. You show digital signatures to prove you can spend bitcoins, which implies ownership.

The private key is used to create those sigs but you never reveal it. It stays secret while the sigs go public.

Keep keys safe, and just flash the sigs! 🔒✨🚀
