BTC Anonymity

[Moneroman88]

Is Bitcoin's anonymity enough for you? Or do you wish it was anonymous? Do you take any measures to anonymize your BTC funds?

[Wendigo]

It's fine as it is but Bitcoin is not anonymous though. And no I don't take any measures because I have nothing to hide I guess? Should I?

[kriptotr]

I think it's okay for me because I don't have connection with money laundering, crimimanlity anf theft. So I don't need to hide anything. If they wanna look at my transactions, here they are.

Bitcoin is not anonymous and one of the top mixing companies has shut their door and i do expect more companies will close their doors because they think that they will be targeted by the law,i am still not sure what the real reason is,i want anonymous to the point where i am not exposed as the account holder,other than that i do not care.

I don't really use Bitcoin for its anonymity features and I personally do not need another coin that provides better anonymity than Bitcoin.
I've used mixing services in the past, but nowadays I just send everything without them.

Also fill it in on my tax return whenever I withdraw a large amount.

Anonymity does not mean that you need to a crook who does money laundering and other criminal activity,it is more about privacy ,because i do not want anyone to pin point my assets and get into other real world troubles,like some one jacking me because he identified my assets and so on,those are the real issues.

What the heck?!

I just read your post and had a feeling it was Bitmixer. Sure enough, it is. Can't believe it. I thought they would be around for years. It seems like government pressure forced them to close, or something along those lines.

It is fine as it is unless you are buying drugs or money laundering or basically paying for illegal things. If you are into illegal stuff I believe even mixers are not enough(assuming law enforcement is involved). You need to use a totally anonymous crypto.

It is important to me as a philosophy, but I'm not doing anything questionable or shady with the BTC that I have.   That being said, I still think a grown adults finances should be no one else's business except his/her own, as long as those funds are not used to harm another human being.

I have always felt strongly about this that adults should be able so use their money as they so please.  Your own body and moneyh is one thing that you should have complete ownership of.

I agree even I'm ok with the current amount of anonymity bitcoin has. I'm not using or holding it for any illegal or unfair purposes or activities so I'm just fine with it. Nor do I feel the need to take any pains to get more anonymous.

I try to avoid the term "anonymity", because it often suggests something you have to hide.
For most of the people, the term "privacy" fits better to the topic we are talking about.
It's about the freedom to protect your transactions from being seen by those who don't have a right to see it.

And I think that this is perfectly possible with bitcoin, especially with the many tools around.

Yes its quite good enough for me. It is semi-anonymous as it currently does not say your name on the account # just alphanumerical. To answer that it could be slightly better like how XMR has it setup completely anon.

I'm actually a fan of Bitcoin's transparency, as it enables me to check any of my transactions and monitor any of my addresses from anywhere, without credentials and even on potentially compromised devices. Yet this information will mean nothing to pretty much anyone else. Try that with account statements or credit cards.

[PancherBitCoin]

If I answer in essence this topic, then I think that the anonymity Bitcoin daytime enjoyed. Although if it concerns the issue of paying taxes, then this is the moment when Bitcoin gives all guarantees to save your money. The fact is that if the government had access to Bitcoin control, then all users would be much unhappy, because taxation would take the lion's share of their incomes.

Have you ever driven to your office with a transparent Briefcase?  If no, why not? What are you hiding in the Briefcase.


 I used "I have nothing to hide" back then when I was a gullible & trusting humanist. I never believed "evil people" exist. Thought everyone was like me.

[unamis76]

Yes, it's enough, I'd even dare say more than enough given the fact that we're constantly scanned when using fiat... I take no extra measures to anonymize my coins.

[LTU_btc]

Bitcoin by itself is pseudo anonymous currency because all transactions, bitcoin addresses and other information is public.
And I don't have problems with it. In past, I remember that I used one bitcoin address to get and send all transactions. But then I understood that's not good. Now I'm using muliple addresses that people wouldn't see how much bitcoins I have. But I don't have things to hide that I would use bitcoin mixers.
Also, I'm not happy when I need to provide my ID to bitcoin exchanges, because I don't want to show who I'm. But when I have to exchange bitcoins to fiat, this action is neccesary. And after revealing my personal details, I'm afraid that may attract attention from tax institution.

[btccashacc]

I feel bitcoin is good enough for me by privacy feature since i'm not doing something that need to hide, there are so many way to increase the anonimity like using mixing service or converting your bitcoins to anonimity coin like monero another way is managing your transaction for example never using single address for transaction, etc. Bitcoin actually is not designed to be annonymous it just being decentralized.

Bitcoin is not entirely anonymous, it can be as long as you protect your identity by taking effective measures. As for me, I do not take any precautionary measures or whatsoever in order to protect my identity. I feel like I do not need, for now. I am not doing something illegal, or any mischievous deeds in any form so why should I be anonymous? Yes, being here will put me at risk but the thing is I do not care if my identity is exposed because just because.
