Weeeeell... I remember being so young I couldn't unbutton my own clothes so I asked my grandmother to do it for me claiming that I wanted to go change, but once freed then proceeded to strip naked in the other room and rub myself all over the sofa... (And for the record: no, I'm not the vice president of America, though I'm sure he'd be proud)
Development is weird and there's an extremely broad range of natural human behaviors. While there's obvious and important differences between the sexualities experienced at different stages of life, and between individuals: aside from those who just don't feel it at all, yes, it's pretty universal.
Hank Green did a video a while back regarding the statistics of water usage in data centers and how they're wildly misleading in headlines (in both directions) while also being technically accurate... It all depends on what you're measuring and what questions you're asking.
No. I assume you have eyes and ears. Use them. If you don't watch YouTube then you can at least read up on wtf you're talking about by throwing it in a search engine or something. It wouldn't affect ICE anyways.
Say you buy $50 worth, which isn't anonymous. Then you add to a pool of several thousand or more, which is then sent out to several clean anonymous wallets as smaller fractions of the whole minus some fee. It's not rocket surgery but works effectively well so long as you have good opsec and the pool is trustworthy.
The wallet you sent $50 from is known, but which of the hundreds of wallets that got $10 from the pool belong to you vs others in the pool? They can deduce it from patterns and usage, but it makes it a lot harder. And this is just "newbie's first introduction to anonimized finances"
But unlike cash, the chain exists forever. They can do wild sorts of analysis, which means you need good opsec with clean separation, and lots of obfuscation. But this is nothing new to people in that world.
So yes, it can be anonymous, but it's tricky and may not always be because it has a permanent public record.
.... But if you go thru all that trouble and then just connect to your new shiny dark VPN from your home PC... Uhh.... It's like ordering pizza delivery. Maybe not the best usecase for 'untraceable currency'
If you bought crypto, same way money laundering works. Otherwise you can earn crypto while remaining anonymous (but in the case of a VPN, connecting to it from your home IP after anonymously buying it kind of defeats the purpose [partially])
There's a running joke between my friends about locking one of us in a room with a minimal Linux & C89 compiler: "okay now rebuild the world from scratch"
