Anonymity is a joke, even if you use Bitcoin addresses only once. I use Tor for some degree of privacy, but only to hide my spending habits from curious people. {You have the right to the same privacy, when you use other payment methods}

I use Mixers to mess around and waste other people's time, who want to track my crypto use.

If some expert really want to trace your coins, they could just use other methods. There are too many other vulnerabilities for people to use, like Trojan's / Key loggers / Browser finger printing / VPN tracking etc..

Let's just accept that we have no true anonymity, and let's continue as normal...

What?
What are you on about?
Of course we can have true anonymity. Roll Eyes

Who says we have no true anonymity?
That's like saying that Santa does not exist.... Roll Eyes

Why would there be a need to be anonymous? As long as you have a secure connection and secured wallet, who cares?

yes obviously, especially if you are doing anything shady, you need to use a mixer. bitcoin is NOT anonymous by default!

A Great Time to Start Something!

No need to, privacy is just for criminals. Tongue

Seriously, I suppose I would if I had a strong reason and/or if BTC was being treated a lot more harshly by the Gov't.

Your country may be your worst enemy

Besides mixers, I also recommend to never buy BTC from an exchange in the country you're staying in. That's what I do.

exchanges connect your identity to your coins. for that reason it's higly recommended to get rid of your marked coins and get clean coins in return.

I use Monero to keep my financial life private

Yeah, but to access monero you most likely used BTC before, so whats the catch? they could at least know you bought X amount of Monero.
Using a mixer helps, but im also worried about the origin of the coins you get, being attached to you.

I don't know if anyone else aside from me do this method, but I find it really easy and helpful: I send my coins to an exchange and withdraw it to an another address. The coins are very hard to be linked to a single address or trace as to where the coins go because apparently, the coins most of the time stay in that address even though you withdraw your funds into an another address.

I've done the same in the past. When I send to btc-e and then withdrawal a few days later it usually comes from a different address making the linkage very difficult.

There is no point in someone who is watched as closely as me making any such attempt; it would only arouse further suspicion. Sad

i don't need to protect it for now(i'm playing with tiny amount), but i'm planning to do it when the amount i'll move will become bigger

i'm also waiting for some better anonimity feature for bitcoin, then using a simply mixer

I think the best way is to use a mixer before you buy anything with Bitcoin, so the blockchain transaction can never be linked to any credentials of yours.
My worry is that the procedence of the bitcoins you get after mixing are of criminal origin... what about that? I only want anonymity, and I dont want to end up in problems by using a mixer.
