Bitcoin provides some anonymity but it’s up to bitcoiners where they want to be on the spectrum from fully anonymous to fully identified.
Bitcoin transactions provide some clues which could be combined with other information to de-anonymize a user if they are not careful.

This isn't really anything to do with the currency, it's more a question of how anonymous the internet is; but, it is the key question regarding BTC vs XMR.
How big an issue it will be to our customers is unknown. To your average Indian merchant, it's probably not an issue; you can de-anonymize big transactions but your average ham-n-egger will slip through. Chinese whales need to pay attention.

I agree to you to some extent, it is not completely anonymous. Government or banks can easily trace it based on transfers done to and from the exchange.
There is a level of anonymity which is quite high, but still, there were cases in which such anonymity didn't really work..

If you open your wallet only via a VPN, using ToR it will be very difficult for anyone to track you down.
However, the moment you deal with an honest exchange, all your secrets are exposed because you are properly identified by the exchange.

Of course, but you can spend big amounts in online shops, maybe even in dark web, you can withdraw it to fiat using your credit card. So if you wish, you could stay anonomous.

there may be several ways to make it untraceable. especially if anyone has ever used a mixer, most likely it is very difficult to track. well, but I think if it's normal use, it can be tracked.

Actually i don't think bitcoin is really anonymous, you can feel it if you are new in working here because you can't easily understand how you will do and how it works so you will think that is so anonymous. All people felt it too because of its lack of knowledge against cryptocurrency. But if you truly know and understand it you will not be scared for it.

Bitcoin is 75% anonymous. The other 25% is done by you. You need to understand bitcoin, the computer as well as the blockchain so as to use bitcoin without being recognized. It is not very hard. However, people do not want to learn. If you are careless in using bitcoin, your identity might be revealed to the whole world

There on blockchain you can see nothing more than the bitcoin address and the amount of bitcoin, which was sent or received, so the personal information of the sender orreceiver is in safe.

yes it is anonymous, it cannot be tracked means we can't trace payment in which country payment has come . But It is possible to break anonymity of the bitcoin by allotting different bitcoin address and these bitcoin address has registered with government authority from this govt. can know that from which person address payment send and receive. Well how this process will work. These address will be registered with exchanges or banks for each and every person. no one can convert btc into fiat without transferring btc into these addresses. from that govt. also able to identify person having more capital gains from crypto asset. Person is easily traceable.

At first I think bitcoin is anonymous and I also do not quite understand because we can make wallet without identity and the government does not know that we have bitcoin, but some friends say that bitcoin is not completely anonymous because every transaction has IP and there are some ways but I'm not too understand how to trace them if they use a fake IP.

Cryptocurrencies can be anonymous or open. Bitcoin and ethereum are examples of open cryptocurrencies. Everyone can see how much money you have on your wallets, how much it you send and who gets this money. Zcash and Dash are examples of anonymous cryptocurrencies. These cryptocurrencies are designed to hide information about your money and what you do with it.

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? I am asking this because I intend to become rich in 4 or 5 weeks get rich in a few weeks no one is actually for bitcoin pedagan. Because if they have a large capital may be gaining profits doubled in 5 weeks

This post was really helpful for the information aboht the bitcoins anonymity. Bitcoin can be tracked but bitcoin cannot be hacked but maybe your wallet. Bitcoin known as anonymity, but there are a lot to talk about being anonymous, a harmless and safe technique of creating & receiving payments without compromising your identity and your activities (lawful, illegal &/or illicit). We believe that bitcoin is anonymous, but if you check back in history like the "Silk Road" and latest articles about its anonymity, you tend to question things surrounding its “anonymity”. Some articles that are worthy of reading: https://theintercept.com/2018/03/20/the-nsa-worked-to-track-down-bitcoin-users-snowden-documents-reveal/

Probably not, they have some sum of bitcoins in the world and I think that inventors of bitcoin try to keep control of it's movemnt over the world. With small amounts of btc not but large ammount of bitcoin I think that is controlled yes.

If you send bitcoin to an exchange to exchange fiat you are not anonymous anymore you are anonymous only if you do not send it to an exchange that you registered with your id.

Yes, bitcoin is really anonymous but only when you understand how to use it wise. Never talk to everyone that you have something on your wallet and try not to click on suspicous links and don't download anything on your PC with crypto.

That is not 100 percent correct that the transactions you make with the bitcoin are fully anonymous, since you actually can track them in the blockchain. It is mostly done when business owners or entrepreneurs have to claim the business or need to sign some contracts

It's not anonymous... We can say that this is type of pseudo-anonymous, because transactions are registred in blockchain.
