If bitcoin were really truly anonymous in 100% It would be great, but there are ways i.e blockchain to track your coins. While it does not show you directly your location or name it can be tracked. But it is still better that credit cards or other online payments method

well but the point is that without your name attached to it, it can't really be tracked, tell me a way with which you can track me and reveal my name, especially if i use a new address everytime i perform a transaction

the only tool they have to track you is when you use an exchange, because there is your name there, attached to your bank account, otherwise there is no way every...

Correct me if I'm wrong but using a new address will not making tracking impossible nor difficult. Every transaction you receive will eventually be used as an input for another outgoing transaction. So whether you make use of a new address or not, the link is there for anybody to follow. Only way to stop tracking is to break that link between your inputs and outputs and only way to do that is to use a mixer of some sorts.

I however agree that its only the transactions that can be tracked until such time as your name can be tied to it. But I guess that will eventually happen as you will eventually end up buying a plane ticket, or maybe order something to be delivered to your address and that will tie that last address to you resulting in all previous addresses being tied to you as well.

not if when i'm using a new address i also use a new entirely wallet, in this way every new address will not be a input for an old address, and there is no connection whatsoever between any of my address

It isn't just as simple as using a new address. When you send coins to that new address unless you've mixed the coins people can see exactly where the money came from.

see above, this can simply be avoided by using a new fresh wallet everytime and not simply by creating a new address on the same wallet, in this way there is no connection with hidden address of any kind

And how are you going to use a new wallet each time? that seems like a pain in the ass. People should be able to do this by default, newbies deserve anonymity too.
the illusion is that its as anonymous as cash. but in fact its cash with a record of everyone who touches that cash.
