I don't know if this is 100% true, and might be considered off topic... But I'm pretty sure if you take btc and switch them out for another coin with more anonymity features like cryptonote currencies, such as monero, you can be anonymous that way... The only risk you have is if monero loses its value over time, and the fact you would have to find merchants who would accept xmr as well..
This is off topic. You're talking about holding an altcoin. OP is asking about being able to use/transact Bitcoin 100% anonymously. P.S. Don't promote Monero here.
I don't think it's a bad example. Satoshi is proof that you can do it.
It is a bad example. Satoshi is a special status user (or group). You don't even know that he is a single person, and you try to make a example as he was a user. Stop calling out on him for reference to everything.
I think most people think Bitcoin is anonymous, even if they they use Tor... but they might be surprised how much information is transmitted without you even knowing it.
Encrypted VPN(s) that do not keep logs are better in my opinion. Tor helps but it has it's own problems.
its not easy to solo mine a complete block, or find a guy who solo mine a complete block
most blocks are mined by pools and they divide that money to their miners
There was a project called Mint (currently on hold) from Blocktrail. Their plan was to sell a limited supply of coins directly from a miner.
I don't think 100% anonymity is possible.
It is not and it is not necessary. Nobody will invest
a lot of money to track a random user without a good reason.
