Whether bitcoin is really anonymous?
somebody said you can trace the source of BTC such as where the bit coin is from, traded through which exchanger, originally from which BTC wallet, is that right?
Thanks

If you are only dealing in small amounts then yes it is for all intensive purposes anonymous. For very small amounts it is not realistically feasible to trace bitcoin that you purchase on an exchange to your wallet that you control the private keys to. It could be done if an attacker knew exactly where to look (meaning they have other evidence), but other then that no.
You can also use services like bitcoinfog and bitmixer that "mix" your coins which makes it much more difficult to trace bitcoin back to you. However when you start to deal with very large amounts of bitcoin these kinds of services start to get much less effective.

Bitcoin is not completely anonymous. You might be a nameless address when you transfer bitcoin. Once you want to exchange into fiat, you will loose anonymity. Most exchanges requires you to verify your account with proves of identity.

Not really, but you can mix your coins to keep anonymous. |

IMO It's anonymouse for the average Joe but not for net detectives, which is why there are services such as Bitmixer.

is bitmixer.io reliable?
Actually I just want to be anonymous and increasing privacy, but not doing something wrong, if I mix with some other people's bitcoin, in some case if there is a criminal inside, does that will influence me?

agree with you,Bitcoin is not completely anonymous now and all exchanges requires you to verify your account with proves of identity. |

Already been answered a lot of times. Its not actually anonymous and they can track you somehow. But there are ways to make it anonymous. Even mixing sites are anonymous, but iff the government asks them for any proof, then they will have to give the information away . |

You can buy cash through an anonymous exchange or through cash without giving your identity. You can mine coins as well! |

Still your personal name is not attached to the transaction.
But what about the IP address?

That is what makes it not anonymous. It is possible to get the IP address if you look at from where it originated. However there are altcoins which offer complete anonymity. |

You can't get the precise IP from where the bitcoins have been sent or received from the blockchain. You could always use Tor, a vpn or a free public wifi to hide your private IP if needed. |

So the only trace (possibly) is to the miner (source) ? |

How ? what are the difference? both are mined using a device that is connected to the network ,and gets IP Address. Bitcoin, especially the big amounts, are nearly impossible to make anonymous. They show your IP anx that usually goes to your identity. There are altcoins that are not based on bitcoin (or not that much) and there the transfers are automatically mixed and anonymized. It's even a way safer method than relying on somebody else (the businesz/site that mixes your coins) |

Spend some time and check what are the normal amounts of bitcoin in transactions. More higher you go out of those numbers, more visible you'll be. There are a lot of ppl watching the big transactions because they may be followed by big dump/price drop. |
