Would you, if asked, personally consider Bitcoin anonymous enough for your needs? Does it lack privacy features? Would you consider Bitcoin anonymous, semi-anonymous or transparent?

Do you want an anonymous crypto currency?

Well as for me, my answer is no. It still lacks anonimity for me. Specially in creating blockchain wallet where emails are required and also the name of the one creating. It still needs to be verified. Like here in our country, the blockchain wallet we have requires us to submit i.d and have video chat with them so they can increase the limit of our transactions.

Yes Bitcoin is anonymous for me because no one knows whose address is in that transaction secondly you can make another
address to send a payment which adds to anonymity of bitcoin lastly no more personal details can be use to make online purchases
unlike debit/credit card.

For my usage, as I only use the bitcoin for legitimate transactions, the bitcoin is anonymous enough for me.

Yes. Bitcoin is Anonymous for me. Because you don't know whos holding that Address. You don't know exactly where they are. You don't know if how many is his/her total Earnings. But 1 thing is for sure, you know his/her transactions. But for me, Bitcoin is still anonymous. You can also use it to transact anonymously. Some other websites use this currency to anonymously transact using bitcoin to buy illegal items.

People will think i'm weird for saying this but I think Bitcoin should be linked in some way to the Government and deposited in banks, this way Bitcoin will be insured by the Government. If it were like this it would be pretty transparent, which is fine for me, most people don't need anonymity. But then again most people don't want people to know what you've bought, it's kinda creepy.

It doesn't have to be Bitcoin, they can issue their own coin if they want to but the government operating on the blockchain would definitely be a big improvement, transparency being the key upgrade. Personally I'm not fussed about anonymity and I doubt most people would want to waste their time snooping in other people's affairs.

I think it is still anonymous if it is just in your own computer. Now you want to cash it out. This is where it will start to bring out some of your information but not all of your profile. So there is still a privacy in it.

yes for me pretty Anonymous, because Bitcoin address is not tied to the identity of the user at the protocol level. Also transaction is not bound either by the user's identity. but all transactions through Bitcoin network is completely transparent and can be tracked by anyone, without knowing who the owner of this address. so it can still be said to be anonymous.

And if you do not want to get involved in all the technical issues and want to just make sure you are anonymous then better use a wallet services like XAPO ( or exchange like BTC-E) and hence whenever you deposit (or withdraw) you will get new bitcoin address.

this is not a good suggestion ever to give anyone.
there is a general rule about bitcoin that says when you don't have the control over the private keys you don't really own the coins.
and on top of that you are suggesting an exchange (btc-e) which is the worst suggestion you could give because they can run away just like cryptsy and mtgox did.

Does it mean having account in block is also not a good suggestion? Since it is an online wallet and most of us here doesn't even know how to setup a cold storage like pioneers of bitcoin do.

Its really fascinating for me while reading the different assesment of the member here.
All their opinions and concerns have their own point and nobody is wrong about their answer, So for me I do agreed to a person who commented here that it doesn't matter whether it is anonymous or not. Just important is as long as the bitcoins is very helpfull to each everyone of us we must go and move forward for what we are believing at in Bitcoins. Wink

bitcoin is not anonymous at all for me. it is like fiat for me but with a block chain recording all the transactions that were ever made. your identity will be revealed in some point while exchange or buying something online

Not really, if you are careful enough or you buy things with a bit more attention then you will see that you are completely secure and anonymous. What I mean to say is when you need fiat for BTC then get a cash dealer and invite him to hotel, so he just see you once and then you dont know him, and same for him.

Its anonymous enough for me. The only problem with the anonymous is when we try to convert it to our local currency. my local exchanger require me to give them my real data to be able to send the money to my bank account.

Hmm that i very true, but if you are Indian then sites like Paytm have solved this, as you can easily make paytm account and get paytm cash for bitcoin from exchanger and then get money to bank from paytm at 4% only.

Yeah Bitcoin is anonymous enough for me because I have nothing to hide and think that this is already good enough for me.
If they want to make it even more anonymous then I am also good with that.

Actually if so then the anonymity feature of bitcoin is not really required by you. Basically the question is suppose you want to stay anonymous for a particular transaction (in some case in future) then is this anonymous enough for you ?

I think that was definitely anonimous bitcoin, but that makes no anonymous is wallet or provider. For example blockchain.info that allow other people to access other people's transactions, it is a thing that is not anonymous to me.

Yes it is. I don't do any crimes. I don't scam people, i don't steal money, i don't launder money, i don't sell drugs. I have no problems with people who track my address. Even if they do while i do some shady shit, i would find a way to stay hidden. Thanks god i don't do things like that.

Most of people voted for 'yes' and I think I understand them. I don't know anything more anonymous than btc, nothing with has the anonymity in its nature

Bitcoin is not anonymous (http://www.bitcoinisnotanonymous.com/), it never was. It is pseudo-anonymous. However cash is more anonymous than bitcoin. So if you want anonymity, use cash. If want pseudo-anonymit use bitcoin.

I don't depend on the "anonymity" of Bitcoin. If I want to get that anonymity I just walk my coins through bitmixer and then everything is just fine.

And maybe that's the reason we use their signature Tongue

. Still I also feel that I do not need the anonymity feature because neither I am dealing with illegal stuff nor I am afraid to tell others how many btc I own

Yes, for me bitcoin is still anonymous. My expectations about anonymity are related with security rather than privacy. If I am getting a secure environment for transactions and even if the details (about transaction, not me) are public, it doesn't matter a lot for me as I am still in secure environment. I prefer security rather than privacy and I am aware that these are two sides of one coin.

Yes, Bitcoin is anonymous enough for me and in my opinion it is enough anonymous for everyone. You do not give any personal information or anything. You can be tracked down (a small possibility, maybr the goverment), but it is fully anonymous in all other terms. It is is not near transparent or something like that.
