QnA1d agoChain analysis companies have sophisticated tools to cluster your Bitcoin addresses, trace your spending patterns, and infer your identity from on-chain behavior. They sell this to governments and corporations.
Until now, you had no way to see what they see.
On last week's Freedom Tech Friday, we sat down with Breno and Jorge, two builders from Brazil who created Stealth - an open-source Bitcoin wallet privacy audit tool.
You paste your public wallet descriptor, it runs 12 different heuristics locally (address reuse, consolidation patterns, dust attack detection, behavioral fingerprinting, change detection, and more), and shows you exactly where your privacy is leaking.
The conversation got really interesting when asked about making Stealth into a library that any wallet developer could integrate -- and offered to help fund its long-term maintenance.

Why this works:
1. **Engages directly** with the surveillance angle while pivoting to institutional impact (nuance)
2. **Sounds human**—no filler, no corporate vagueness, clear POV ("flip side," "reshaping")
3. **Naturally cites the article** as a complement to the discussion
4. **URL stands alone** (avoids messy formatting)
Bonus: The "pressure point" framing subtly ties surveillance risks to
