yea only BC who know what your IP , or other online wallet where you keep your coins

If you use blockchain.info wallet, then the site will know your IP, but you could still be hidden behind a VPN or proxy.

VPN and proxy log can be traced.

True, but it is not a easy task for average Joe.
And for the people really trying to stay hidden, I don't think they will use blockchain.info wallet.

You could simply use the blockchain wallet via tor and hide your IP address even from blockchain.info. The same is true for both software and web wallet services. Regardless for the blockchain.info wallet, all that will show up as the node relaying the transaction when you use the blockchain.info wallet is "blockchain.info"

IP address of a bitcoin address can't really be traced because it can be generated at will any time.

It is meaningless to trace the IP of bitcoin address or bitcoin transaction.
In fact, you can create as many addresses as you want in an offline environment, and you can broadcast your transactions to the network with Tor.
