Bo you protect your anonymity?

[Bitcoin Mixers]

Need to know your opinion.
Do you use Bitcoin Mixers/Tumblers/Anonymizers ?

[thejaytiesto]

I think the best way is to use a mixer before you buy anything with Bitcoin, so the blockchain transaction can never be linked to any credentials of yours.
My worry is that the procedence of the bitcoins you get after mixing are of criminal origin... what about that? I only want anonymity, and I dont want to end up in problems by using a mixer.

[Amph]

i don't need to protect it for now(i'm playing with tiny amount), but i'm planning to do it when the amount i'll move will become bigger

i'm also waiting for some better anonimity feature for bitcoin, then using a simply mixer

[Cryddit]

There is no point in someone who is watched as closely as me making any such attempt; it would only arouse further suspicion.

I use Monero to keep my financial life private

[dothebeats]

I don't know if anyone else aside from me do this method, but I find it really easy and helpful: I send my coins to an exchange and withdraw it to an another address. The coins are very hard to be linked to a single address or trace as to where the coins go because apparently, the coins most of the time stay in that address even though you withdraw your funds into an another address.

I've done the same in the past. When I send to btc-e and then withdrawal a few days later it usually comes from a different address making the linkage very difficult.

Yeah, but to access monero you most likely used BTC before, so whats the catch? they could at least know you bought X amount of Monero.
Using a mixer helps, but im also worried about the origin of the coins you get, being attached to you.

[randy8777]

exchanges connect your identity to your coins. for that reason it's higly recommended to get rid of your marked coins and get clean coins in return.

[countryfree]

Besides mixers, I also recommend to never buy BTC from an exchange in the country you're staying in. That's what I do.

[Bit_Happy]

No need to, privacy is just for criminals. 
Seriously, I suppose I would if I had a strong reason and/or if BTC was being treated a lot more harshly by the Gov't.

[moriartybitcoin]

yes obviously, especially if you are doing anything shady, you need to use a mixer. bitcoin is NOT anonymous by default!

[tins]

Why would there be a need to be anonymous? As long as you have a secure connection and secured wallet, who cares?

no i don't use any of these services, i'm not doing anything illegal then why should i use these services? 

[Kprawn]

Anonymity is a joke, even if you use Bitcoin addresses only once. I use Tor for some degree of privacy, but only to hide my spending habits from curious people. {You have the right to the same privacy, when you use other payment methods}

I use Mixers to mess around and waste other people's time, who want to track my crypto use.

If some expert really want to trace your coins, they could just use other methods. There are too many other vulnerabilities for people to use, like  Trojan's / Key loggers / Browser finger printing / VPN tracking etc..

Let's just accept that we have no true anonymity, and let's continue as normal...

What?
What are you on about?
Of course we can have true anonymity. 

Who says we have no true anonymity?
That's like saying that Santa does not exist....

Using a mixer isn't that secure and one has to use it multiples times.
Essentially what you do it transfer all your BTC to an exchange and buy Monero.  Monero has untraceable payments and unlinkable transactions. You could always sell them at the exchange and send the BTC to your new wallet.

[BTC_Superman]

No, I am not use such service. I am not doing anything illegal, then why I use that?

[koelen3]

I prefer mixer though i haven't used it but i have  seen many people using other less known service and then the service messes up or fled with amt if big.

No, I am not use such service. I am not doing anything illegal, then why I use that?

It isn't necessary that you need it just because you're doing something illegal . Some people prefer anonymity or some don't want the money tracked back to themselves ever and it helps them

I have a new Bitcoin acct and I'm setting up a VPN so google and the rest of the world does not need to know my every move in life from where i want to eat all the way to dealing with the rash on my..........
Not that it matters I guess, but at the end of the day the chain as they say is only as strong as the weakest link and if I use bitcoin to pay for the service isn't it ultimately traceable to me and if so how do I fix that?
