extended information:
as a virtual commodity, bitcoin itself has no national boundaries, and its operation mode is a "decentralized" monetary system, which is very convenient for one-time large transaction. Bitcoin is traded through the network, and the owner's identity is only in the form of a set of encrypted computer code
in the operation, input a digital address directly, click the mouse a few times, and wait for the confirmation of the transaction to complete the transaction. The network can only record which address a bitcoin was g up from and how it was transferred
however, the identity of the owners of these addresses can not be verified, which is just like when money goes to an ownerless bank account, the relevant transactions can easily be invisible from the perspective of government supervision, and it is difficult to be tracked or intercepted.
