Bitcoin isn't anonymous. The ledger is public and your wallet has to be linked to you only once for every purchase you've done to be entirely attributed to you.

This can even happen years after you've deleted the wallet key and moved on to a new wallet.
- mirimir 7y agoSorry, forgot to mention mixing multiple times, using multiple Electrum wallets, in multiple Whonix VMs via Tor, using different mixing services, etc, etc, etc. So sure, all that Mirimir spends is linked. But nothing is linked to my other personas, or to me in meatspace. Edit: Bitcoin Fog was used to mix thousands of Bitcoin from at least two thefts. In 2013 from Sheep Marketplace, and in 2015 from Bter. And as far as I know, none of that was ever traced. That's just one of the mixers that I used. So I'm not at all worried.
- mirimir 7y agoEdit2: I should mention that the current status of Bitcoin Fog is unclear. See their Bitcoin Fog thread. So best don't use them.
- mirimir 7y agoMake that "... Bitcoin Forum thread".
- StavrosK 7y agoSpending anonymously is much easier if you hold Monero and send Bitcoin through xmr.to.
- mirimir 7y agoWell, at xmr.to: > We can recommend Monerujo on Android and Cake Wallet on iOS. These wallets integrate natively with XMR.to. I don't use either Android or iOS. Do you recommend a suitable Linux wallet?
