<p>Lets say that I have a bitcoin address that is not owned by me. Is it possible to get that address's full transaction history (send/receive addresses and amount), and if the owner bought bit coins using a credit card will I be able to see that and possibly the card number? If not, what can I see with just a random bitcoin address, and who can see that credit card number?</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-03-05)

Lets say that I have a bitcoin address that is not owned by me. Is it possible to get that address's full transaction history (send/receive addresses and amount), and if the owner bought bit coins using a credit card will I be able to see that and possibly the card number? If not, what can I see with just a random bitcoin address, and who can see that credit card number?
