Are bitcoin ATM's truely an anonymous transfer?

[eclecticuniversalas]

So walked into a place that had a BTC ATM and it was situated in a building that had security cameras all around the place, I then walk up and make a $ large purchase of BTC and maybe run it through my online phone to transfer it to a cold wallet, . Im just wondering at this point, (If I am to accept that I am a person to believe in a guv/corporate total conspiracy), . just how anonymous was that transaction? Just how free from record recording is a BTC ATM, if in a world of facial recog, that ATM is surrounded by outside security cameras or if the finalization of the transaction is sent over my online phone at the time of ATM use?, . so I must ask myself, why do people call this a perfectly anonymous untraceable transfer?, . when it seems from my paranoid standpoint to be just the opposite?, . It could have been well recorded

The cameras wasn't made for watching people who use the BTC ATMs logically so I see no problem here, If you don't feel anonymous enough then you could switch to somewhere else , I'm sure not every ATM out there is surround by security cameras .
I'm not used for the cameras myself as I live on a country where there is no surveillance cameras at all , I see them only in outside and inside banks most of the time so once again , It really depends on the location.

It depends upon how you bought bitcoin on those ATM? Did they ask for your personal information including your phone number and a photo? If yes than they may record your bitcoin address where they have sent you bitcoin on purchase. But you can use mixer services to add anonymity. After few mixing it will be hard for anyone to track down where your purchased bitcoin ends up. Also than you can spend those bitcoin to wherever you want.
