Is bitcoin really anonymous?

[Elmughni]

My questions is not on the technical side, since obviously you can create an address in a very much anonymous way. However, when it comes to spending it or convert it into fiat or even when spending it on a legit shop online you have to leave an identity trace.

I know that with small transactions is fine, under the radar basically, but what happens with significant ammounts?

in my opinion, if indentify person  cannt be track , it is anonymous.

[andibongkol]

All bitcoin transactions can actually be tracked but to be able to know people who have wallet or adrees should need time because it is not easy. but actually every tx can be traced

unlike bank accounts and other payment systems, the Bitcoin Address is not bound by the user identity at the protocol level. Anyone can create a new and completely random (and including private key) Bitcoin address at any time, without the need to submit any personal information to anyone.

That is right and that is how bitcoin called as an anonymous cryptocurrency because if you are going to send money or bitcoin to the other people or to the other side of the world then it can be done without verification of your personal information which is very private to give to other people. Bitcoin is a complete mode of payment that we should have been using for making payments so we can send and receive bitcoin in just a few hours unlike the banks that transaction can take up to days.

[Demughni]

Yes! Bitcoin is really anonymous. There are some says that Bitcoin should spread and become well-known. But there are also some who wants to hide bitcoins identity since there are dangers when it became popular.

yes i think, bitcoin is really anonymous. I prefer want to hide identify. it is secured for my investing

bitcoin is really not anonymous because when you enter in this society you must learn first and search what is bitcoin and you can really know what bitcoin is and so bitcoin will not become anonymous to you if you are willing to know more about bitcoin.

[jeanpadel14]

it is entirely anonymous. On the other, it is completely transparent and trackable since all transaction are recorded in a public ledger.
Bitcoin is what you’d called pseudonymous. Sending and receiving bitcoins is like writing under a pseudonym. In Bitcoin, your pseudonym is the address to which you receive Bitcoin. If your address is somehow linked to your identity it’s exposed.Since all transactions on the Bitcoin network are recorded on the Blockchain people will now be able to know the amount of Bitcoins you own on this address, which addresses sent you money and which received money from you.

You know bitcoin also popular for the criminal transaction. Because they used to hide the identity. In this system only transaction will be seen.  Even you don’t know the real person. You just sent the transaction and receiver received it. So there has no chance to disclose your identity. But there also fact that on that transaction we use TEXID.
And every transaction bear this It. So you are not 100% anonymous. But accordion to my view you can hide the maximum identity.
Just think about the criminal transaction how they do that because they know it very well. So before transaction you also know it very well. If you research on it or experiment it first sending low transaction, you will be clear about it. 
Don’t forget one think, if you make a mistake to send in wrong address, there has no possibility to get return.

As soon as there is a trace to your identity, your wallet is not anonymous anymore. If you use the wallet of an exchanger, then it depends on the behaviour of the exchanger, in which country he is incorporated and what laws he has to follow. If you become rich soon and want to spend a larger part of it, then it is definitely worth to check the laws of your country and the laws of the seller. And if you want to use an exchanger wallet, also those laws.

If you will become very rich, you can also move to a country where bitcoin richness is tax free.

  It would be interesting to know how you will be able to become so rich very quickly and remain anonymous at the same time Maybe share the secret I would also not have refused to get rich in such a short period of time Perhaps you will get rich soon, but to establish complete anonymity is not will succeed about what has already been said in the comments

yes of course the address bitcoin wallet no one knows who the owner if the owner does not give tau to others and of course saipa bitcoin owner no one can know but if the transaction then everything can know, and the owner of bitcoin address can be known only when the owner of the wallet give her wallet address to receive payment using bitcoin.

[Harper6]

    Bitcoin is not really anonymous because others can see the wallet address when send and receive bitcoin but they can't see your identity,password and private key.

Yes that's right. Bitcoin is really not known to others that why its remain anonymous for some. And also for me you don't need others to know your identity in investing because you can make it privately.

bitcoin have anonymous advantage, no one know the identity of the owner, but that advantage makes the government afraid to legalize it, for money laundering, hopefully this thing can be resolved so that privacy can maintained and the government can legitimize it

No it is not like this as money laundering does not have any connection with the bitcoin, people use to make illegal actives but it was happening even before bitcoin, so actually bitcoin has no concern with them, bitcoin is using by people to make money and it is good to transfer a lot of money at the sometime without additional cutting and taxes, bitcoin is a currency which people call anonymous because no one can get to know that how much bitcoin you have with you, so it can be in term of security only.

Surely, some people will say that bitcoin is not a anonymous and some people say yeah it is, but we can hidden our identity but our wallet address is enough to track our location. But the question will be who will track us? and What's the benefits for them to track us? 
Also I want to ask now 4 or 5 weeks passed: Now have you become rich as you intend?

The government might want to track their citizen if they have digital assets such as bitcoin. Because digital assets are used for tax evasion now a days. Actually, they can track your wallet address once you convert you assets into cash.

That is the excuse that they are using in order to justify their tracking the truth is that governments even if they do care about tax evasion what they truly care is about control, they want to control you and want very effective way to do that is to control how your money moves this is why one of the first things that governments do to people that they are investigating is to freeze their bank accounts but that is impossible to do with bitcoin.

[pealr12]

Bitcoin is not anonymous but rather if you made a transaction thats the time anonymous will enter. That is why bitcoin transactions being used to some illegal acts and to hide thier wealth.

[EnricoGomez]

Up to a point, yes, you can somehow say that bitcoin is anonymous. Though by having a transaction made no matter the size or your wallet address, it is enough to track you down.
If you're doing good or legal, why hide though? Be willing enough to pay taxes if that is what you are considered on. If security is simply what you wish for then, good luck with your wealth!

[Cryptovirtuosity]

Theoretically bitcoin is anonymous, and if you use all the necessary precautions it is difficult for them to take you. But if you make a little mistake, especially at the time of the exchange in fiat, the whole transaction chain comes out. Caution.

[gowron24]

NO, its is certainly not. I mean in terms of privacy, Bitcoin is way behind the competition (Deep Onion first and foremost, Monero, Verge...) Privacy coins are where its at, and it seems that with tigther regulation, privacy coins have a niche all carved out for them.

[PIMPdev]

Obviously fiat money are not unidentified till you hold paper banknotes. On the contrary, Bitcon is really anonymous, but before you exchange it to some other currency.

[KeijiN]

When we think about all this guys, who trade weapons and drugs in a darknet using bitcoin it is obvious, that they would not be able to do their dark acts without being anonymous...
