As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I'm curious about the privacy aspects of Bitcoin transactions. Could you elaborate on whether Bitcoin transactions can be traced back to an individual's IP address? I understand that Bitcoin transactions are pseudonymous, but does this mean that there's no way to identify the sender's IP address? Or are there certain circumstances or techniques that could potentially reveal this information? Clarifying this point would help me better understand the privacy implications of using Bitcoin.
