#bitcoin was created for a number of reasons. But it was not created as privacy at its focus. It does not mean, you can't achieve privacy with it, but it was not its first goal.

Now, my question is:

Do you think it is sufficient to

- only hide what you spend it on, or

- do you think you shall hide the fact you are buying it (aka noKYC exchange)?

I am really curious what are your thoughts on this. I offer zaps in return for your kindness to give your 5 cents.

You can also write me private DMs if you prefer to not show your answers to others. Zaps are still there.

I just want to own my own personal information. I'll share the bare minimum necessary information to complete said transaction (place to recieve funds, contact info, etc.) but no more (and even this info should he obfuscated).

The FOSS openness is what gives Bitcoin the freedom to do what you want with it; but only if you own 100% the UTXO(s). Choose to share your stack with the world, or keep those addr's close to your chest for your oen determined personal reasons.

What do you mean under "necessary" information?

Because you can use e.g. Robosats to buy btc. There you don't have to share any personal information. Only seller shares their fiat payment address, and you send them the money. But the receiver will know your name.

But there you have to make trade off, as you can't sell any time, any size, and maybe your fee (premium) will be higher than compared to custodial such as strike. But you shared no personal information.

In this way, the necessary information can depend on the level of service you prefer.
