🔊 BITCOIN'S 10-YEAR PRIVACY HOLE IS CLOSING


June 2026 — Bitcoin Core Proposal
◈ Since 2015, the RBF button was used to increase transaction fees.
◈ Since Bitcoin Core 28.0, fee bumping is automatic.
◈ The manual button now mainly leaves a fingerprint that can help track wallet activity.
◈ Developers are proposing its removal to improve privacy.
BONUS ISSUE:
Bitcoin Core 31.0's Private Broadcast feature could expose a user's real IP if Tor fails.
A fix is expected in version 31.1.
Useless button.
Real privacy cost.
Devs are fixing it.
On-chain privacy is Bitcoin's next battleground.
Is your wallet being tracked?
