Well the only way to lose anonymity of btc is to give out your identity to a site selling it!

As long as you don't give out you ID to a site no one can know you Wink

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.

Not yet, but it will be once Greg Maxwell and the rest of Core devs are finally able to deploy all that nice stuff into the network, like confidential transactions, coinjoin in default payments, zkcp and the rest, we will be finally anonymous.

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.

yes, I think it was quite anonymous to me, but I do not care about that. as long as I can still make bitcoin, it will be fine. although I am looking for my bitcoin as a side income, I think it is good enough, no matter whether it is anonymous or not. the most important thing I can still find and use, and it may be better bitcoin still be anonymous in my life  Smiley

Bitcoin is anonymous as long as it stays online in the digital world and people don't try to exchange and withdraw their Bitcoins for cash. But even though the Blockchain can record every transaction you have ever done in your life, putting a name and address to your Bitcoin addresses and wallet is actually a very hard thing to do so in theory if you keep a low profile online your identity will be preserved in particular your Bitcoin finances. As I am used to using debit cards and PayPal on a daily basis I don't care much if the government will follow me around when I am cashing out Bitcoins or not because I have nothing to hide in the first place.

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.

For me it is already enough, i use bitcoin for online purpose and when i transaction online like buying or selling digital goods i dont need to give my personal data unlike when use credit card.
Well, that's what's bitcoin is created for. It doesn't care for the nature of the business (whether the transaction done is a good one or an illegal/crime). That's both an advantage and a disadvantage for bitcoin. Anyway, it keeps us from being always searched up by the government and the sellers.

That correct and i think credit card is much risky than bitcoin cause cashier or teller can copy your pin on the back of your credit card and can use it for online shopping while in bitcoin no one can use your bitcoin other than you that is why it is anonymous enough for me and also because bitcoin can do more thing that other currency can not do specially in transacting online.

But a lot of people is using a credit card to buy on online merchant and needed to require VBV to using this. but that's true if using CC is a very risky because before you want to use it you must checking the site you wanna to delivery with them. because many sites do not have a good security for their site.

i thought bitcoin is simi anonymus but anyway i love it. it make my privacy safe and a best tool for busness. i can show my static to others any my relatives will not interfare in my thing
Making it anonymous, transparent and even semi-anonymous is completely in your hand because you are the one who decides how to use/spend your bitcoins.  If you want to be anonymous simply use mixers, if transparent is your concern then use a single address.

I think, in anonymous in bitcoin until I expose my BTC address to someone else. But still, bitcoin had no restriction creating many addresses. So, i remain anonymous.

For me, I like the idea of anonymity. It does have its pros and cons. 

Pros for me include not having to give out my personal information online.  That is probably the most important.  Also, the government doesn't need to know what I do online.  One point to note is that I don't partake in illegal activities, especially online, because  you will get caught eventually.

Cons include inability to get refunds from dishonest persons, no recourse to take if scammed, and no way to vet a particular person or organization.

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?
Bitcoin is definitely anonymous as it doesn't reveal my personal information to receiver or sender unlike PayPal where even it is not the case.That said,I dont think one would need anonymity unless he is upto something illegal

It depends what you want to do with. To do ciminal actions, then the answer is no. To avoid getting tracked by the finance authority, then the answer is no, too. To buy stuff without give a payment provider all your personal data, then the answer is yes.
But it is always good to have a different address every time, because using a same address someone can easily get to you and hence know your details. Though if you are not a criminal nor hacker then may be you never need to mix your bitcoins in most of the cases IMHO.
That's right, with using a different address every time is same means indirectly using a simple mixer for your bitcoin. you're right if someone can easily get to him and tracked his transaction but i think their personal data is always secure because bitcoin.

I dont like anonymousness of bitcoin,you may think why?
i dont because if someone will scam me,and he will send my money into his wallet,i wont track him out,
because this is almost not possible,i dont do anything illegal so i dont need to be anonymous.

So you want it to be less anonymous? What about your neighbour seeing your spendings and on blockchain? Or your employeer seeing how you sepend bitcoins you earned from him? Or what about kidnapper seeing that you have lots of bitcoins, as you seem to have your bitcoin tx even less anonymous than they are now?

Do you want an anonymous crypto currency?

With hackers and scammers on standbye and increasing in numbers our bitcoins are always at risk. Annonymosity has long protected these online nefarious individuals from being caught and punished and that's why they are still doing it until today. Self identification should be associated or incorporated to all wallets so that all scammers and hackers may be easily identified. I'm against annonymosity its time for transparency.
If some random dude approached you on the street and asked for your money, because apparently there is amazing deal going on, and he is gonna invest your money,
and give you back 200% after a week, would you give your wallet to him? Because this is how most of bitcoin scams schemes look like.

For me it is. I don't plan to buy drugs, guns or any other stuff that is illegal, I don't plan to do illegal things at all. It's just the price of BTC that amazed me since 2013 and got me involved in this cryptocurrency. It is secure enough for me, and I would like using it even as a main currency in my country. However, even if I see it as secure, easy to use and anonymous as I want, I would use it as the main currency just if I knew and if I was sure that it cannot ever stop. For now.. I'm happy with the physical money, the one I can touch, not virtual stuff Cheesy
