While it's not trivial, it's been shown that you can de-anonymize bitcoin transactions. In some cases it's very easy. So in practice you can't rely on your transactions being anonymous even if in practice some of them may end up that way. And of course even if transactions themselves were fully anonymous, many people end up needing to rely on exchanges, and the idea of those being truly anonymous is borderline absurd.
