yes, I think it was quite anonymous to me, but I do not care about that. as long as I can still make bitcoin, it will be fine. although I am looking for my bitcoin as a side income, I think it is good enough, no matter whether it is anonymous or not. the most important thing I can still find and use, and it may be better bitcoin still be anonymous in my life  Smiley

I don't depend on the "anonymity" of Bitcoin. If I want to get that anonymity I just walk my coins through bitmixer and then everything is just fine.

Not yet, but it will be once Greg Maxwell and the rest of Core devs are finally able to deploy all that nice stuff into the network, like confidential transactions, coinjoin in default payments, zkcp and the rest, we will be finally anonymous.

yes for me pretty Anonymous, because Bitcoin address is not tied to the identity of the user at the protocol level. Also transaction is not bound either by the user's identity. but all transactions through Bitcoin network is completely transparent and can be tracked by anyone, without knowing who the owner of this address. so it can still be said to be anonymous.

Well the only way to lose anonymity of btc is to give out your identity to a site selling it!

As long as you don't give out you ID to a site no one can know you Wink

To me it's anonymous enough.
Usually there is no connection on the first sight between my wallet and my real name.
That is enough for me. Of course if somebody is capable and has taime, it might be possible to make that connectin.
But who would be bored enough to do so? and why?

  It's me!!!

Its anonymous enough for me. The only problem with the anonymous is when we try to convert it to our local currency. my local exchanger require me to give them my real data to be able to send the money to my bank account.

Why do u have to convert to Fiat? Is there no other ways for u to pay something other than in the local currency?

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.
You might be glad but 20% of bitcoin users use bitcoins just for its anonymity and non reversible transactions. I think though yes there is no need for anonymity unless you are to keen to keep yourself hidden. But I prefer anonymity to avoid any unnecessary attractions and questions.

Provided that the user isn't stupid enough to let everyone know they own that address that was used to buy meth, it's pretty anonymous.

The only thing that breaks a bitcoin address' anonymity is its association with someone/something. If no one knew who owns that address, no one will know unless the user goes ahead and tells people he/she owns that address.

It is anonymous and it great for people to feel safe but if you want to make your account safer there's an option where you can add extra security on your account like adding recovery emails and 2-way verification. This helps your account to be more secure when hacked.

For a regular non-techy people like me, bitcoin is anonymouse enough for me.  Since even if i  know the address of the  person used in sending me Bitcoin, I don't know the identity of that person.  Then with the use of mixer, that complicated things more.   It will only break if the site your associated with requires your full identity (well they keep it secret though).

it is mostly the second part for most of us!
because the majority of the bitcoin users are not scamers so they are not trying to hide themselves from anyone and most probably never going to use any mixer ever.
instead it is more a matter of privacy and wanting to keep your finances private and only to yourself.

Actually paper money is the ultimate anonymous method of payment because there is no trail left after the cash has changed hands while with digital currencies like Bitcoin there will be always hints and traces left online for people to trace back to the original owner. But anyways the degree of anonymity of Bitcoin is not a major concern unless you are making illegitimate deals or something haha. Bitcoin is anonymous enough for online gambling and dark web market shopping and for everything else there is a Master card  Grin

Honestly its enough for me because if you dont want to track you from some one you can use 3rd party app like bitmixer that can prevent someone to track you.. bitcoin right now here in my country needs real information its not so anonymous but you can is crypto mixer or bitmixer to be anonymous..

Bitcoin is not really all that anonymous. The addresses protect you somewhat. But if you connect to the internet to make a bitcoin transaction, which is a duh, you are going to leave traces the average user doesn't know how to mitigate. A government (most governments) can probably index bitcoin transactions with metadata to figure out who you are very quickly.

By default bitcoin lacks true anon features, but with the mixing services it makes bitcoin very anonymous, thing is hackers can use it freely too
Which is why bitcoin is getting negative PR.
