Topic: Bitcoin Anonymity - page 2. (Read 891 times)
Bitcoin is not fully anonymous.Its pseudo anonymous.Transactions are registered in the block chain.Its not like Monero where transactions are fully anonymous and which is largely welcomed and adopted by dark markets.
The Pseudo-anonymity of Bitcoin is just enough for the basic person to protect themselves. If they want a higher degree of anonymity, then they
can use Mixer services. Cash gives you pseudo-anonymity too... but if notes are "market" by someone who wants to track you, then you are
stuffed. If you mix those notes or you exchange it at places that makes it more difficult to track you... then you are essentially doing the same
with cash than what you doing with Bitcoin and mixer services.

I want to hear your thoughts regarding this.
Would it be much better to continue its anonymity?
Or should Bitcoin cut the chase to establish itself much better, to increase its reputation or trust rating, or to finally have a face and know its concrete structure that will allow to open a new unimaginable possibilities like opening of a much greater opportunities of negotiations for the better i.e. as a company or anything?
If so, what would happen?

Even if we continue the anonymity of bitcoin we cannot but accept the fact that there are changes in this field. When countries started to adopt bitcoin they will require every users who uses the exchanges to submit valid id and personal information thus making every transaction no longer anonymous for the central bank and the government to see.
Bitcoin is not anonymous. it offers some small level of privacy and a very small anonymity that creates the illusion of it being anonymous. and nobody wanted or wants it today to be fully anonymous.
if you want full anonymity use cash in a dark alley or look into coins like Monero and see if they offer such features.

Bitcoin is not anonymous at all. It is an open ledger, with transparent transactions. Only multi-input-multi-output transactions confuse somewhat the inputs and outputs, but you can trace a coin from its beginning to its current ownership. Any connection with real world data is propagated along these lines.
Bitcoin is not fully anonymous nor is it entirely open, and this is not something that can change. The system relates to pseudonymity - the use of addresses as pseudonyms for who is sending and receiving. This is visible to everyone on the blockchain and on block explorers.
There isn't really any option in existence which changes Bitcoin's pseudonymity and still keeps it as Bitcoin rather than a centralised online payment system (which to people who genuinely value their privacy would be far less credible anyway).

I will clarify some things:
1)What I meant from above is to reveal the faces behind Bitcoin in order to open a negotiation between a person like a head of state of a certain country to discuss the possibility of adapting the Bitcoin or in order to have a legal approach to this like legalizing it in their respective countries. E.g. we know that Satoshi Nakamoto is just a screen name and not an actual name of the founder tho.
2) I'll just state the obvious, of course the anonymity of an individual should not be revealed and also their transaction like the Bank Secrecy Law we have in our country (and I assume that every country have that, it might be in a different name but still imply the same).
3) If perhaps Bitcoin is in pseudonimity, should it be revealed what really is Bitcoin?
4) I understand the idea that there are things that should not be revealed but should we state the facts straight about Bitcoin like establishing some concrete detail about it like a normal company or organization or whatever you call it?
5) If Bitcoin is not anonymous then about the Bitcoin is anonymous then should they reveal it?
6) In relation to number 1, by doing some, Bitcoin can be legalized as some considered it illegal tho
If you have any clarifications, just message or leave a reply so I can make my poll with a much clarity as possible. Sorry if I seem to imply a wrong idea to you V.
