Put it this way its harder to track than Direct Debit, Credit Card... And then using Dark Wallet and there will be other programs that will be created just as there are programs that are created to track. And If bitcoin becomes more widely adopted, as in --- you can buy your grocery with Bitcoin, Rent , Bills, Etc etc.... This means people will start accepting it and not needing to change into dollars also.. so as adoption takes place and the less likely we have to exchange how beloved BTC to dam Fiat.... this will make it even more hard to track as all they see is an address no name linked or ID.

Its the On-ramp & Off-ramps from Fiat To BTC and back again, that eventually make our identities known

Me personally? I really don't care for most things that I buy if people know what I am buying.

"When the government is restrained, the people are free. When the government is free, the people are enslaved."
-Stefan Molyneux

Liberty is why anonymity is important to me.

Imagine criminals being able to track all your transactions and identify you. That's scarier than having the NSA tracking your transactions.
The fact that you fear the word "criminal" more than you fear unconstitutional state monitoring agencies is a sign of the success of state propaganda.

The NSA is a criminal organization. It has no legitimacy whatsoever, much like the Federal Reserve.

Right.

Best way to avoid getting robbed is not showing your wealth.

Think of the internet like a mall....

You don't go to the mall, talk to every person there, tell them your name, where your live, and your work schedule.....

You don't give your credit card to a stranger and tell them to hold it and you will be right back


Poor examples...but why would you want people to know who you are on the internet?

Because not one single banker in the entire world has gone to prison for manipulating markets. Not one. And the banking industry knows what everyone spends on their credit cards.

Anonymity is not a problem for me as I have not completed any kind of transactions that could cause me problems if I was found out to be the person who made the transaction. I do like having that option to be able to show as anonymous when making transactions as it's privacy which I feel we are all entitled to.
Maybe you wouldn't get in trouble, but would you want everyone that you ever meet to get to see how much you make and what you spend your money on? I don't know about you but I certainly do not want this.

So regarding BTC, I understand why people use it.
So you can't be tracked down, it's useful, it's fast, etc etc.

But do you remain anonymous because of blackhat related activities?
Do you just not want to be known?

I personally don't care. I just think that BTC is a great investment for me.
Is Anonymity not that important to you?

Yeah I really dont care either, it needs to be slightly anonymous though since it is a public ledger so i agree on that at least.

Anonymity isn't important to me but its a plus. Having an Anonymity is a good thing because a user not publicly known
to have enormous amount in the wallet will be a target of scammers.

I won't be doing something illegal anyway so I'm sure people who will transact with me will know my real name since it skype Id is my real name.

Bitcoin is not anonymous, at all. Simply put, there are programs out there and in the making, that track every address associated to a designated Bitcoin address, and can interlock transactions between other known addresses of exchanges etc, to find the identity of the user if she/he cashes out via subpoena.

There goes Bitcoin's pseudo-anonymity.

The reason why it is so important to me is because the governments are kicking up a fuss about censoring this, censoring that, because of "fear of terrorism and public safety" and stuff. I find it outrageous that they use such a pathetic excuse to cover up what blatantly is just to sensor each and every single person and be able to have access to be able to transfer funds from MY and YOUR bank accounts without premission, internet history logs, they already have blocked some websites on my router. I could sit here and list all day long but I think you all get my drift.

Fuck the government.

That question is like asking why you wear clothes. The simple answer is privacy.

Anonymity is very important if we want to preserve the freedom of speech. Recently, a lot of anti-Drug cartel bloggers were murdered in Mexico, after the cartels traced back their identity through sophisticated tracking tools. I don't want criminals to target net users.

If you run a business, you don't want people to figure out who your buyers and suppliers are.

In some industries *cough*porn*cough* what you are doing is perfectly legal but stalkers are crazy.

Yup. Also, if i were to buy something ilegal (not that i've ever bought anything ilegal) but if someone wants to go to say SilkRoad, why would they use Bitcoin if something like XMR exists tho? Like why would you want to leave traces on the blockchain or whatnot? I don't know.
Isn't all of this solved if you just create a diffrent recieving address each time tho? It's a bit of a pain in the ass but should do the job.
There are mixers that are near free that would solve this problem
