Transactions can contain IP addresses.

You can send BTC to an IP address.

This is not a good thing to do - the documentation even says it "will probably be stolen immediately"

Many many years ago. The initial designs for Bitcoin had a 'pay to IP' feature, probably to approximate traditional banking IP to IP transfer. It has not existed for almost 8 years now.

"This feature has been removed from Bitcoin Core as-of v0.8.0[1]." (Feb 2013).

damn time flies.

I haven't bought a bitcoin since it went from $20 to $400.

the change in my tumbling accounts are worth more than everything i had bought since then combined.

I recommend dollar cost averaging over time to 'stack sats'. You can probably never get back to your original position if you sold, but you can try.

I also bought then, I continue to buy now. I will buy in the future. Regret every sale, No regrets on every purchase.
