Day 6 – Your Crypto Wallet Isn’t As Private As You Think

> 🔐💡 Crypto Fact of the Day

Think your crypto transactions are invisible?
Not exactly.

Even though wallets don’t use your real name, blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum are completely public. Anyone — including government agencies, hackers, or curious friends — can look up your wallet address and trace every transaction you’ve ever made.

In fact, firms like Chainalysis and Elliptic specialize in blockchain forensics. They help law enforcement track stolen crypto, uncover fraud, and even de-anonymize users by analyzing patterns.

So while crypto offers freedom, don’t confuse that with full privacy. Unless you're using privacy-focused tools (like Monero or mixers — and even those are being cracked down on), your blockchain footprint is wide open.

The chain never forgets. 👁️‍🗨️

Day 5 – The FBI Has a Crypto Task Force… and They’re Watching Closely

> 🕵️💰 Crypto Fact of the Day

Did you know the FBI runs a full-time crypto crime unit?

In 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice launched the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET) — a specialized force targeting crypto-related crime.

Their focus?

Darknet marketplaces

Crypto mixers

DeFi exploits

Fraud and exchange hacks

One of their first big wins? Seizing $3.6 billion in Bitcoin from the 2016 Bitfinex hack — the largest financial seizure in DOJ history.

So yeah… it’s decentralized, but it’s not invisible.

The blockchain might be open — but so are the FBI’s eyes. 👀
