Bitcoin is anonymous until you tie it to something that requires a real identity. For most people, it's probably tied to an exchange that has their real identity, credit card info, and maybe bank account info.
What they should've done is generate a new wallet with no previous transactions and just used that to buy things.

- dumbfoundded 6y agoIt depends on what you buy. The best thing to buy would be a currency like Monero where you're actually anonymous.
