1. It is not clear which seller you are talking about. The bitcoin seller can potentially identify you because you have to give them money somehow. The goods seller can potentially identify you because they have to get the goods to you somehow.
2. If you have a wallet on your phone or other mobile device, the seller can usually scan a QR code containing an address. They send the bitcoins to that address from the wallet on their phone. If you email them a bitcoin address, then you can potentially be identified because they have your email address.
3. Blockchain.info is an adequate online wallet. Its primary vulnerabilities are phishing and keyloggers. As DannyHamilton wrote, your level of anonymity depends on how much effort you put into be anonymous. Don't store you bitcoins on a Tor site. It is likely to be a scam.

The 5 BTC coin costs 6 BTC. That's very expensive, but I'm sure they'll sell out. I love the 5-coin set idea.

You seem to believe that miners don't have the same information that you have, or they aren't as knowledgeable or as smart as you are. How arrogant!

Please don't confuse decentralized with democratic. Bitcoin is decentralized. The fact the miners choose to go with 1 MB blocks despite what users want doesn't make it centralized.

Two that come to mind are Coinbase & Circle. I did a quick google search, possibly wrong terms. The information I got was useless. I am sure this has been discussed. If there is a good article/link on this it would be appreciated.
Coinbase and Circle get bitcoins from people that sell bitcoins to them. They may also buy off exchanges or have private deals with miners or large holders. The term exchange is confusing. Coinbase and Circle are not exchanges, in that they are not marketplaces where people buy and sell. I suppose you could call them exchange rs. They buy and sell bitcoins. |

If you use your wallet to fund your LocalBitcoins.com account. Then sell your BTC there to someone. Can that person easily trace and find out your wallet? Or its not easy to do that?
The answer to your question is no, not unless LocalBitcoins provides certain information to the buyer. When you transfer bitcoins to LocalBitcoins you are sending bitcoins to a deposit address in their wallet. It would only be a coincidence if the bitcoins at that deposit address are the ones that are sent to the buyer. |

Are you seriously complaining about people trolling on reddit? I'm on your side, but I don't think anything will ever be done about it. Reddit is a troll magnet.

Same can be done in the opposite direction, pumping up the price before letting it drop. Also known as the pump and dump.
That's not a "pump and dump". This is what a pump and dump is: Pump and dump is a scheme that attempts to boost the price of a stock through recommendations based on false, misleading or greatly exaggerated statements. ...

I'm still not convinced that Genesis Mining is not a huge Ponzi scheme.
Only the future will show us the truth especially after the halving, i think many weak/minor mining companies will collapse For cloud mining ponzis, you have it exactly backwards. After the halving, the ponzis only have to pay out half of what they were paying out previously. |

i'm so hyped for this im ready to see bitcoin hit 1k again  You are going to be so disappointed when you discover that all this halving hype was just fantasy. |

I have now put some money in Coince, and that looks OK so far.
Some people never learn. You just gave your money to another scam. |

I believe the limit is on how much you can transfer out of Coinbase.
If you move your bitcoins to Coinbase's GDAX exchange, you can sell them all at once if you desire. Then you withdraw the cash from Coinbase over several days if necessary.
Thank you odolvlobo, that's the problem that I don't like, the amount I can transfer out of Coinbase. Imagine that you are lucky and suddenly at the end of this month you have €7000, but you think that at the next day the price decrease dramatically, in that situtation you will lose money, due to the limits of transfer out. Thank for the info of GADX exchange, I will check the option, I saw that service, but I don't know how runs. I don't use Coinbase so I don't know the details, but I know that you can store dollars at Coinbase. So, it should be possible to sell your all of your bitcoins at Coinbase at one time without withdrawing the dollars. You probably don't even need to use GDAX. |

BTW, it is "halving", not "halvening".
When you "halve" something, it is a "halving". When you "halven" something, it is a "halvening".

What you are missing in your analysis gentlemen is the role of the fees! The block size is a scarce resource making the payment of the fees able to support the cost of the network.
The subsidy is much more than the fees and it will be sufficient to pay for the security of the network for decades. The fees currently provide no benefit other than reducing spam. Though the role of fees might be an important reason to restrict the size of a block in the future, it is irrelevant now. |

They are more likely a scam... I invested 3 days ago and have received my payments as they promised for the past 2 days (still waiting for today's payment) but that doesn't mean they are not a scam...
I would try to convince them that you are going to invest a lot more money as soon as the first plan runs out. Email them and tell them that you invested a small amount only as a test and that you will follow up with a much bigger investment if they are legitimate. If they believe you, then maybe they will actually pay you for your current investment. |

It is pretty obvious that it is a ponzi scheme. Here are some typical indicators: - Ridiculous rates of return. They don't need investors if they can truly pay those rates of return. They would be better off without investors.
- Broken plans. Their "basic" plan is actually the best plan. It supposedly pays 8.3% per day, while the "VIP" plan only pays 6.1% per day. If they were not a scam, this error would be obvious to them.
- Lack of specific information. They don't say anything anywhere about how they achieve those ridiculous rates of return.
- Anonymous IP They don't want anyone to know where they are actually located.
Also, with just a little bit of checking I found these: |

I believe we are in the beginning stages of a bubble right now, and it will pop around the time of the halving.
