-> :book: ***Why Use Tor for Bitcoin?*** The Bitcoin network is a peer-to-peer network that listens for transactions and propagates them using a public IP address. When connecting to the network not using Tor, you would share your IP address, which could expose your location, your uptime, and others details to third parties — which is an undesirable privacy practice. To protect yourself online you should use tools like Tor to hide your connection details. Tor allows improve your privacy online as your data is cryptographically encoded and goes through different nodes, each one decoding a single layer (hence the onion metaphor).
