Any address can be tracked easily. But the owner of address is anonymous. At some extent it is still anonymous. We can generate as many addresses as we can to receive BTC instantly with no one knowing the owner.

Yeah that's part of the pseudonymous nature of BTC. One doesn't know for sure who's the owner of a specific address. But even if you figure that out, one can pretty easily just use another address and thus remain separate from the first one!

Using multiple adresses and shared sends and mixers does remove that.

could you give more info about this? are there some software for "shared sends and mixers" or i need to do it by myself?

Shared send is a feature on blockchain.info's wallet that allows you to send coins to another address but it will go through several intermediary addresses first and each transaction to each intermediary address has several input and output addresses

Shared send is less anonymous and for mixing coins you can use bitmixer.io for example. These are both online and you don't need to install anything.

Hello. Get some info that Bitcoin is not true anonymity. "Once you make the transaction ->it will be put into the blockchain with amount and addresses -> everyone can track your address current balance"

Where there any known cases deanonymization?

And what about cash out BTC to USD? How i can see it's weak element. What is the most secure way to cashout money from BTC to USD?

It is possible to track your address back to your identity if you somehow associate the address with your identity (using your IP address to transmit a TX, send funds to an exchange that has verified your identity)

Yes, academics have written papers on this.

Care to share some sources or examples of those papers? It's an interesting topic!

Well, it actually is somewhat of a mixture between anonymity and pseudonymity. If you do know the owner of an address, you can track the respective transactions. Thus the anonymity is being void. If you for example send someone BTC, you know their address and can track the funds. Or in case of for example Mt. Gox addresses, people have tracked funds through their wallets...
