the answer is maybe, not yes or no.

for example this 146vFp1nePNtpxfefNcNtaEvTjNhytNrnT is my bitcoin address. you can see the transactions coming and going. but that is all you can see. if I sign up on an exchange for example and give them my identification and then make a deposit from this address or withdraw to this one, that links it to me (just an example). but until I make that link, I am anonymous.

you can see Satoshi Nakamoto and how anonymous that is.
