if you want to do some anon transactions try alternative coins which are built for anonymity i would suggest to use  monero. bitcoin might become complete anon in future.

I strongly disagree.

The only effect BTC anonymity generates is to attract tons or scammers, thieves and ponzi pumpers to the industry. They are able to scam ordinary users, especially newbies and by doing this they do a lot of damage to the crypto world. Why would I want to support something like that?

Bitcoin is always anonymous, only if you know how to use it anonymously. Smiley

in this world if you want one thing you will miss another, you can't have both anonimity and security, who want anonimity will be seen as a crimninal or tax evader, but not all want anon for doing bad illegal activity, some of them are just protecting their privacy

bitcoin should definitely aim at full anonimity, who want more security will not use it or will not use the anon part of bitcoin(by simply registering every move he does, talking about taxes, here but it could apply for everything)

this is the only way to have both things, let the people can choose, is the key

Bitcoin is often hyped as a potentially-anonymous method of making transactions, but how many people actually use it in this way? We can plainly see that privacy is a very weak point in the current developments within bitcoin. It is easy to trace spending patterns through the blockchain, IP addresses, and wallet reuse. However, the question remains, will anonymizing techniques be enhanced in the coming years, or will bitcoin development bend to the whim of policy makers and advocates of ‘stopping criminal behavior’?

Many ill-informed users of technology will almost always hear the word anonymity and spout out the question “doesn’t that allow terrorists to do terrible things?” “What about money laundering?” These are perspectives riddled with a fallacy of short-sightedness and reactive rather than proactive measures.

Technology is a tool which extends the physical and mental capabilities of humans. Not limited to individual use, technologies also enable collective humanity to extend their ability to exert control over their natural world, thus extending their physical capabilities. A nuclear fission reactor allows collective humanity the ability to control an aspect of natural and extract tremendous amounts of energy from it. Technologies themselves do not facilitate, exclusively, actions which could be described as good or evil.
