Yes! Bitcoin is really anonymous. There are some says that Bitcoin should spread and become well-known. But there are also some who wants to hide bitcoins identity since there are dangers when it became popular.

Well because of its factor that its anonymous so the identity of the beholder is just state by its transaction history or the address but it cant see who , and sometimes it can use to some illegal transaction mostly uses this is the hackers and terrorist.

Its not completely anonymous, but pseudoanonymous one.. every transactions on bitcoin is registered on a ledger called the blockchain. On blockchain, only the bitcoin address and amount of bitcoin that was received or sent can been seen, but not the personal information of the sender or receiver (such as name, age, etc). However, every transactions made are publicized to the entire bitcoin network.

Now I get it, because before I really thought why bitcoin is anonymous, but the right term with it is pseudo anonymous. That is, for the different users who have their own addresses in their wallets. Well the main creator of the bitcoin is still not known right? But whoever that is, either it is a group or not, they made a good job in making this system.

Maybe bitcoin member is partially anonymous in a sense that we cannot trace them personally except if he or she directly says to one that she is that user. But upon claiming the converted bitcoin to real currency then he or she will have a record.
yes that is, if you want to track down the bitcoin user anyone is very difficult, because the bitcoin users also have their own privileges and their identity is secret. so we must also respect this.

Yes when it comes to bitcoin member to member transactions or even in the system of the bitcoin with people around you replying on your thread are all A.K.A and no personal details attach so that is why it is so called anonymous. Anonymous if we are in the world of bitcoin but as you stated above that after having to bitcoin to en cashing it that requires your personal identify since it already involve in real money of fiat money. The integrity of receiving it is there since you are already crossing the border from bitcoin world to the real money world. The real money world is the real evident from the investment gain from the bitcoin system.

The thing that gets everyone interested in using bitcoin is an anonymous feature, it's time for the transaction to have a feature that protects the user's data in total and it can only be done if the feature is anonymous, bitcoin understands with it so it uses various encryption.

Bitcoin is not anonymous. Bitcoin is working online. It does not provide all your personal information. But everyone is working with knowledge of faith. There is nothing to do in the wake of anything or anything. That does not mean that bitcoin Anonymous

bitcoin really anonymous because of its huge value, if bitcoin is public and works in common, the troubles and risks are also great.

When we talk about anonymosity, for me bitcoin is anonymous only when you use or trade it as bitcoin iself. It is defeinitely obvious because you only need the wallet address when you transact.  However,  it is loosing its privacy when the time comes that you have to convert it to fiat with an exchange.

First of all, Bitcoin's protocol consists of a series of transactions. These transactions are inherently packages of different types of data, among which there are inputs and outputs. The inputs refer to the bitcoin addresses from which coins are sent (for which you need to use a private key associated with that address). The outputs are related to the addresses to which bitcoins are sent.

Yes, It Is anonymous Because it cannot be tracked. Where to come from where it belongs but only the bitcoin address and which was sent and received. Personal information was safe. no one can not find it. Bitcoin Technology based on the strong privacy system allocated. Bitcoin is the safest blockchain technology this is why everyone chooses the bitcoin and invest money. But we have used this In the Good purpose.
I agree with you that bitcoin is anonymous because the security of personally identifiable information that has been applied is safely safeguarded from others.
with the proven safety of bitcoin, many choose bitcoin as an option to invest.

I think that bitcoin is like anonymous and has no shape and physical. Actually when we have bitcoin, we like to have nothing but have a value and a very high price. Although bitcoin looks like anonymous, as long as many people believe it and invest in it we must also be sure.

bitcoin is not anonymous the user is , for example i have a transaction of 1btc you will see my address but you will not know who is the owner of that , that is why here in my country they were not recognized bitcoin , banks here would not allow you to open an acct if your funds are come from bitcoin.

Don't say it is from Bitcoin, simply says you are making some sales on the internet like on the buy and sell things, you buy things from someone and sell it to anyone who is interested to get the item with additional fee, this way they can reconsider your transaction since you don't need to have certificate to start such business just be ready with your ready-made reasons when they ask you more about it.

Yeah! that is true that bitcoin is really anonymous but yet their is a big chance that it will be known everywhere we go, aside from that many countrues use bitcoin as way of transaction. Although it is not easy to trace up where does it came from but it is not a hindrance because bitcoin blockchain is safe than the other and aside from that their is also a privacy because not everyone can easily access all over.

I believe that bitcoin, like most cryptocurrencies, is anonymous from the point of view that knowing even the hash of the transaction or the address of the user's wallet from which the goods were paid, or some kind of service, state and tax services will not be able to determine who actually owns this address with bitcoin.

Bitcoin isn't completely mysterious. Some say bitcoin anonymous because of the address, but the fac in this matter is nobody even the government can't trace the individual behind the transaction. Being mysterious of bitcoin is that the value vacillation and being decentralized and to know the proprietor isn't simple one it takes apportions of strategy.
Yes, Bitcoin can be tracked, especially some companies even want money to track Bitcoin transfers. There is a lot of progress on this issue, and I think Bitcoin lost its anonymity.

Of course, when other people will send or receive bitcoin they can see your wallet address, so it's not anonymous, but still they can't see your pass word, private key and your identity.

My questions is not on the technical side, since obviously you can create an address in a very much anonymous way. However, when it comes to spending it or convert it into fiat or even when spending it on a legit shop online you have to leave an identity trace.

I know that with small transactions is fine, under the radar basically, but what happens with significant ammounts?

I am asking this because I intend to become rich in 4 or 5 weeks Grin Grin

It depends, if you join ICO that needs KYC, then the team project will know your home location along with your Bitcoin address. Not only that, most of Crypto exchanges also need personal details right now. So, its possible to track  you from the transaction history.
