In this short paper, the possibility of identifying a user's accounts in different cryptocurrencies given the user's portfolio of investment gained from social media is investigated. In this study, the generic elements of blockchain systems are briefly studied. In section \ref{sec:blocksim}, BlockSim which is a tool for simulating transactions, and an algorithm for answering this question is introduced.
