Is Bitcoin Anonymous Enough For You?

[tyz]

It depends what you want to do with. To do ciminal actions, then the answer is no. To avoid getting tracked by the finance authority, then the answer is no, too. To buy stuff without give a payment provider all your personal data, then the answer is yes.

Indeed Bitcoin is anonymous enough for me because it's easy to make our trades and deals using Bitcoin without providing any personal info or data, so it's better than using the other currencies.

Then why do you have a BTC mixer in your signature? Do you know why it exists/why its for? Do people here have any idea how schizophrenic they sound when Bitcoin and anonymous are put in the same sentence? 

Bitcoin mixer are better than using tor network to send or receive bitcoin .

lol,what the difference between using tor network and not using tor network when sending or receiving bitcoin,both still can be traced except you're mixing bitcoin so your transaction will be mixed until untraceable because it was mixed on the pool

using TOR network is like an extra layer of anonymity that you can add to your process to make it harder by hiding your IP address. but in case of mixing coins i don't really see any reason why you should use TOR because the legit mixing services that are transparent shouldn't keep any log at all.

bitcoin is quiet anonymous for me, it is possible to send and receive bitcoins without giving any personally identifying information. However, achieving reasonable anonymity with Bitcoin can be quite complicated and  it is impossible to obtain perfect anonymity.

Expect all you said to be a part of the bitcoin anonymity. You cannot separate it. You cannot tell people to avoid doing transaction in a criminal act because that's the reason they use it in the first place. Bitcoin anonymity come in good and bad actions.

Why do you think that it is semi-anonymous?
It is not,if you know something about security like vpn's proxie's etc.you can make yourself almost invisible while using a bitcoin.
It is really a great this,and i thing that is enough for most people.

Would you, if asked, personally consider Bitcoin anonymous enough for your needs? Does it lack privacy features? Would you consider Bitcoin anonymous, semi-anonymous or transparent?

Do you want an anonymous crypto currency?

yes it is.
in fact, bitcoin anonymity is the least important thing for me. and i care about other attributes of bitcoin and anonymity is in the end of that list, some attributes like decentralization, and fast transactions, also low fees are more important to me than being anonymous.

Have you even read bitcoin.org?

https://bitcoin.org/en/you-need-to-know#anonymous

Or what bitcoin developoers say about bitcoin's anonymity, e.g.:

"There is no anonymity in Bitcoin. There is pseudonymity which is fairly simple to decloak by authorities. [luke-jr]"

vpn and proxies? it have nothing to do with bitcoin,your transaction will be traced,proxie and vpn only give affect to your IP not for your transaction and keep in mind even you're using tor version of online wallet it won't give affect,oh I think you'll not going to get it as it already explained everyday and you still don't get it

I believe if you use exchanges like btc-e and others where may people deposit and the withdrawals are sent randomly then also you mix your coins quite nicely, no need to pay the high fees of mixers.

Bitcoin isnt anonymous, but it server me well regardless. I'm actually backing up legitimate uses of bitcoin and being  transparent isnt an issue for me.
I value limited and controlled supply over all else,including anonymity. Money that can be printed infinitely should not have value, hence i choose bitcoin.

Okay, let me clear you guys out. Bitcoin is NOT anonymous nor it has ever been. It is pseudonymous which is somewhat different from anonymous. I am too tired of explaining it over and over so if you can just look it up, we'd appreciate it.

I think bitcoin is not still anonymous because anytime your transaction can be track but there is a 3rd party that you can use like bitmixer or crypto mixer that can not you track by someone.. So its not enough for me but there is a good service just like the bitcoin mixers..

So you prefere to thrust a third party service for bitcoin use? What if they log ever mixing operation? what if they run with your bitcoins? what if they are feds honny pots? What if you get dirtier bitcoins than your own after mixing?

The anonymous of bitcoin just cover your personal data, but nothing for your wallet and tracking. the mixer bitcoin is helping someone to get out from this problem. because the bitcoin is published your financial wallet to a lot of people. I always using a mixer service to go out from this problem.

I would call it semi-anonymous, sometimes bitcoin is anonymous sometimes not, the difference is how you use bitcoin, what are you buying/selling/trading then are you using any exchange which requires many different verification etc. For those that this that they are unsafe then they can use bitcoin mixers to increase the privacy level.

A mixer might be required just at the final step, before you convert bitcoins to fiat/use bitcoins.
Because of its pseudonymous nature, your real identity is protected until then.

Lol if you buy stuff of course you must send your address and your real name? then where anonymous? You would not know if bitcoin used as currency for criminals. because there is no description for each tx id? so it is very likely they do it we do not know it because bitcoin is anonymous

And can our IP be traced if we use blockchain wallets ? If we can not be traced when using blockchain then maybe blockchain is best, because its convenient and at the same time also anonymous.

I want a full transparency to bitcoins. I want that there is one official wallet address given to each individual. That wallet is recorded by the government. So in every transaction we can identify who are we sending bitcoins and who sent us. That way no more hackers and scammers. And also salary will go automatic to your wallet including the benefits or pension from the government.
